I'm glad I never kept a log and nobody ever took pictures of all of our camping trips, way too much info to be used as evidence.

And there are many stories I will pass on, even the ones I am not so proud of.

I don't know anyone that works there (surprisingly) but last names may help.

Bam you are one tought woman to brave the heat, sleep on the ground while pregnant and enjoy it. I can't get over the sleeping in the heat part myself!

Yup, right on the river down on S. Williams St. at Old route 13, I used to work at Wright Do-It Center and an HVAC shop right up the street. The place was closed down long before my running days but I know where it was.

I wish now I had kept a camping journal like that Bam...I love Ferne Clyffe..it's primitive sites have spoiled us for every other campground ...they are so cozy and private...you have no idea there's even anyone close to you..that's where we spent our honeymoon..
For those who have never been to the tent sites at Ferne, they are fantastic!
