Nice picture! I believe Evergreen was on the corner of Seven Springs road and Bakertown road right down the street from Sunnycroft. It I believe was one of the first bunch of colonies to close. I used to walk by it five days a week in 74 and 75 it was abandoned. I Could be wrong it was a long time ago but there was an abandoned colony there, that am sure of. I would agree they might have Been exploring. I did the same thing with other colonies, a few years before that. And Manny I Still look now and then Mike D.
Mike, my memory is a little fuzzy as well but I think there were two camps on the other side of the Bakertown. I thought Evergreen was almost directly across from Sunnycroft but there was definitely an abandoned one at the corner of Bakertown and Seven Springs.
It might have bin. Pinegrove then, there was definitely. A colony by that name also. The reason I remember some of the colony's names is! in the late sixties' early seventies, the adults would play softball on Sunday mornings after partying on Saturday nights, Fun to watch. They had their own little colony league. If they won, their game, they would drive past the other colonies honking the car horns. The parents had a lot of fun on weekends up there to. Friday nights were for card playing and the tile game (mahjong)? the moms would play! probably spelt that wrong. Saturday nights was entertainment, drinking and partying in the casino. Good times were had by all. Either way great pictures.
