Directions
Directions from First Baptist Church of Gaffney are available from Cub Master Scott Mullinax. The following directions are slightly different and assume you are heading north on 85



  • Take the SC-18 exit, EXIT 96, towards Shelby



  • Turn RIGHT onto SC-18/SHELBY HWY (AKA Union Hwy & Frederick St) and travel to Hwy. 105 – Wilkinsville Hwy (across from McDonalds and in front of Fred’s); make left onto Hwy. 105 Wilkinsville Hwy



  • Follow Hwy. 105 to Peeler Creek Road (past Lake Cherokee entrance and Draytonville Elementary School is across the street on the left), make a right on to Peeler Creek Rd.



  • Make immediate left from Peeler Creek Rd onto Pondfield Rd; follow to Hidden Valley Dr (past church on the right until you see junkyard); make right onto Hidden Valley Dr (a dirt road going through the yunkyard).



  • Follow Hidden Valley Dr through junkyard down the hill to the white gate; go through the gate to the top of the hill and turn left through gate and go through the Pine trees until you reach the clearing; this is the campsite.

HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Blessings in Christ
Pastor John Rickert
