Bring your own toilet paper...

PINES POINT / HORSE CAMP
Just before Whitlock Campground, as
you come around the curve is Pine Point.
It is unmarked and more primitive than
Whitlock, but we like this place the best.
There is a little outhouse... no door or
toilet paper. Picnic table and metal firering.
There is a memorial sign that reads,

"HORSE CAMP A place where John Searcy went to hunt, play, rest, cut wood and be with his family We love you Daddy"

Pines Point / Horse Camp is not on the map.
The name "Pine's Point" is carved into
an old stump. The name "Horse Camp"
is from the memorial sign.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW

it is mandatory to have water, shovel and axe.
As an extra precaution bring a fire extinguisher.
Gloves are also a good idea...
