Milly, The Lumber Camp that my grandfather lived in was about a mile up the road from the Rottens Fork Church. Going towards Rottens Fork, you turn left and pass the church, cross the creek and drive on the left side of the creek about a mile and cross the creek again. The old lumber camp was in the bottom on the left as you cross the creek the second time. The Rottens Fork school used to be right by the little bridge. There is also a big spring not far from there, where the camp and school got their water. I think the land is now owned by a Patton or possibly a Williams. The man is a coach or teacher at YAI now, having moved back here from up North a few years ago. Hossey Cliff is to the South of the lumber camp site.
