through mud and woods to the former camp
Sunday walk in search of an abandoned pioneer camp. Judging by satellite maps and the stories of people who used to rest there for a long time, it should have been in a forest, surrounded by fields outside the city of Chapaevsk. Samara Region. Since the distance from the city is large, about 15 kilometers, we drove part of the way by car. What never regretted. The roads have not yet dried out after the winter, there is mud and large puddles everywhere. But as a bonus, we got nice photos of driving through these puddles :))
On the title photo - a direction sign to the camp, with its name "Young Guard". Multi-colored ribbons on the sign are a kind of tradition among tourists, after hanging a ribbon, you have to make a wish. And it should come true :)

There is a saying: a clean SUV is a disgrace to the owner :))

Soon the mud will dry up, and something will grow in this field. Most likely a sunflower. Or maybe some other agricultural crop :) Then there is a small area of the forest, and a camp should already appear. It is already spring in the forest, the flowers have appeared. On the way I met a roe deer, but it was very fast, and the picture did not work...

This is the gate to the camp. Everything is open, fresh traces of trucks are visible. The camp was abandoned a long time ago, in the early 90s. Judging by the sign on the gate, its territory was bought by a private person. But nothing has changed for the better since then...

With difficulty, but you can make out the inscription - "Young Guard"

Little is left of the camp itself - a couple of houses, overgrown roads and a warehouse with boxes. Unfortunately, a pack of dogs turned out to be on the territory, perhaps there was a watchman somewhere ... Therefore, we had to quickly leave from there :(

In general, the places there are beautiful, a very good place for camping. Forest, small lake, fields nearby. And most importantly, clean air :)
