Been cooped up all winter? Tired of the chilly temps? Feeling a little spring fever? Then it’s time for…

 Back to the Basics in Potosi


Information No more luxury cabins with dishwashers and gas fireplaces, my friends. Our weekend home this month will be the Mark Twain National Forest and the raging inferno will be courtesy of Caver. We are once again back to our usual xcursion accommodations of camping in the great outdoors and roughing it (as long as they have a power outlet for the blender, right?!)


Date April 25-27
Costs Camping is free. You only pay for your gas and food expenses for the weekend.
Location Mark Twain National Forest
Potosi, MO

Hazel Creek Recreation Area Information
Directions from St Louis
270 to Hwy 21 (Tesson Ferry) South (Exit 2). Take Hwy 21 past Potosi to Hwy C.  You will see several large domes that look like large breasts.  Turn right on Hwy C and take quite a ways (about 12 miles) to Hwy Z. Turn right on Hwy Z (you can only turn right). Z turns to gravel and Hazel Creek Campground is just ahead on the left.

If you don't like 21, you can take 55 south to 67 south to 32 (Park Hills, by St. Joe). Take 32 west. 32 ends into 21 near Caledonia. Turn right and go a short distance to Hwy C (again by large breasts). Then to Z same as above.  Hwy 21 is faster, though.

Directions from the west
Take Interstate 70 East towards St Louis.  Just outside of St Louis (Wentzville), take US 40/61 (Exit 210A) East towards St Louis.  Take US 40/61 into St Louis, then exit onto Interstate 270 South (Exit 25).  Up until now, you will be going against traffic, so it shouldn't be too bad.  Take I-270 South until either Hwy 21 or I-55, same as above directions from St Louis.
