I was just reminiscing about my early Scouting days when I decide to try to locate my very first Boy Scout summer camp. I knew its general location, and certain features of the lake and camp was still clear in my 52 year old mind. I pretty much narrowed it down to Pinecrest lake via Google maps and then did a little word search (don't you just love the internet). Lo and behold I came across your posting (Thanks by the way for confirming my suspicions). Back in 1970, or thereabouts, I went on my first journey away from home and ended up at Camp McBride. It was a great camp and I have very fond memories of the old rail road lumber camp. There was great fishing, canoeing, hiking, and Scouting. Unfortunately, I believe that was the last year of that camp. I recall something about the sites sanitation facilities were not adequate. I hope to visit the old camp with my Eagle Scout son and my Venture daughter one of these days to check out the old campfire site and the warm water pools further up the river. I still remember my first night camping out under the stars and being worried about the scorpions and rattlesnakes that the older Scouts told me would craw into my sleeping bag. Scouting, dont you just love it.
