Camping

Oops, where'd that cooler come from?	How does the LANlord always seem to get himself in situations like this with Curlmaster?	Always the ham for the camera, Mr. Toad making a political statement.

Location

Sometimes we take a train ride up Seneca Rocks, other times hike up, often just look at it on the way to camp at Yokum's Vacationland:

HC 59, BOX 3

SENECA ROCKS, WV 26884

(304) 567-2351

(800) 772-8342

Interstate 66 West to I-81 South. Exit at Route 55. Turn right at the end of the ramp to go west on 55. Keep following the signs for 55 west (there will be a few turns to make in the towns). About 30-40 minutes after Petersburg, Yokum campground will be on the left side after you pass the gas company on the right. If you pass the entrance to Seneca Rocks park or hit the 3 way intersection of 55, 32 and 12 with Yokum's store on the corner, you went too far!

It's a good idea to go less than the posted speed through Wardensvillle if you don't want to get a ticket like some campers already have.

Someone will bring a stove and fire building tools.
