John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 22: Bear Camp, Oakton, Md.
1908
Oakton, MDCaption:
The distance to Bear Camp - the sixth encampment - from the preceding camp, is about nine miles. Captain Orme says: 'We could not reach our ground until 7 of the clock, which was three hours later than common, as there was no water, nor even earth enough to fix a tent, between the great Mountain and this place.' This camp is less than one-half mile south of the Pennsylvania and Maryland boundary line at Oakton. This is one of the most picturesque places for an encampment along the entire route.
