Pine Ridge Tourist Camp (site)
County Road 337
Concordia, MO 64020I'm not 100% sure of this tourist camp's location. The only clue I have is that it was located 65 miles east of Kansas City. Clues in the phot indicate that it was on the south side of the highway and that it may have been on the east side of a hill. The landscape of this location appears to match the terrain in the photo.
This is from a local historyt:
Pine Ridge Camp
A tourist camp with cabins, lunch room, and a filling station on Highway 60, 8 miles northwest of Poplar Bluff. It was built in June, 1926, by D. R. Scott on his farm, which was the homestead of Lemuel Mills on the old Military Road (q. v.). Legend says that soldiers were camped here during the Civil War and that there are three soldiers buried there somewhere. The name was given for the topography and pine trees.
