Ropidon Camp Kept in Repair

The latter camp was built on
land owned by a lumber company,
while the Hoover retreat is a
half mile within the park bound

In summer local Scouts spread
out into several tented areas
spaced around the cabins. Small
parties spend week ends at the
camp throughout the fall, winter

approaches are blocked by snow
or Sleet.

The camp can be approached
from Skyline Drive, over turn
off near Big Meadows. Scenic
Skyline is only 5 miles from the
camp at the fork of the Rapidan.
Skyline Drive was built in the
early years OF the Roosevelt ad-
ministration.

between the camp and drive has
been closed by park rangers. II

The "bell and light" units will
set off air raid alarms automati-
cally in many buildings. Other
