Geocache Description:

Drive-up near the former "Camp Stuart" Boy Scout Camp.

I'm an old-time Eagle Scout, who was sad to see my own scout camp, where I had many fond memories, turned into a park. When I found there was a similar situation here, I felt compelled to make note of this one as well.

(My camp was "Camp Saratoga" (GC1C3YH), which, ironically, is located near the "original" Saratoga in New York, not the facsimile in California. visit link. "Saratoga" is a Mohawk (Iroquois Confederacy) word for something like "land of great waters".

Camp Stuart, from a bit of Googling, operated from 1944 to 1988. It's now owned by the county, but closed to the public. This drive-up will show you the entry points to the site, including the one sign pictured above. I believe there are several buildings over the hill to the west. If you have any pictures or memories, please share them!

This picture is meant to confuse you! It's from the former Camp Saratoga in New York..
