Driving Range of Camp Borden

[Jon Skagfeld]

I know Blackdown Park, Camp Borden, very well having spent several summers there. One summer was for a D&M course and we used the area extensively for training.

There was a snake's tangle of roads in one area near the Lisle Road (west part of Camp) where it was quite easy to get disoriented...as in temporarily lost!

There was also a deep ravine-like depression down by the Pine River known as the "bullpen". It featured a sand track up which one was required to successfully get to the top. I was about 150x in length at about a 30 degree angle. Great fun!

The posted pictures look like it may have happened at the top of the sandy track.

Good Grief! I could babble on about my memories of that place.
