Directions:
From the West side
of the state: (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Big Rapids, Cadillac)
M-72 runs east from Traverse City to Barakel.
If you come north on U.S. 131, go to just
south of Kalkaska and turn east toward Grayling on M-72. Continue east to
*Mio.
From the Central part
of the state:
(Lansing, St. Johns, Mt. Pleasant, Clare)
If you come north on U.S. 27 you'll notice
that it merges with I-75 about 5 miles south of
Grayling. Travel to the left-hand Grayling exit, number 254.
After exiting, turn east on M-72
(a right-hand turn at the first traffic light).
Travel 32 miles east to *Mio.
From the East side
of the state: (Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, Saginaw)
Proceed north on I-75 to Exit number 202.
This is the "Alger" exit. At this point take M-33
north (right-hand merge at the exit) through Rose City to *Mio.
In the little village of Mio
(our county seat)
M-72 and M-33 join at the traffic stop light
(this is the only one in the county).
At this point you are 9 miles from Fairview.
Follow M-72 east or M-33 north
(they are the same highway for these nine miles — it saves time
for the local snowplow drivers).
In the even smaller village of Fairview
(our hometown)
M-72 and M-33 separate at the yellow blinking traffic light
(there is only one in Fairview).
Stay on M-72 — this is done by driving straight through town.
Come east of the traffic light for 5 miles. Our entrance is on the north
(left) side of the road. There is a street light suspended above the
highway at our entrance.
After turning left onto our dirt road:
Proceed north for a half-mile,
where the first building you will come to is the
Camp Office.
