Campsite Backwoods

Excellent campsite, one of the only sites with lean toos

Yawgoog is nothing with out campsite Backwoods

Went to Yawgoo every summer when I was in Boy Scouts. East Greenwich Troop 15. Scoutmaster Jim? Johnson (Warwick police officer) and later Raymond Bock, iron worker, great role models and very good men. Circa 1971-1975. We always went to Backwoods, great memories there, the 3-sided cabins, Sandy Beach mess hall, swimming, boating and hiking. Medicine Bow Trading Post, the fort in Medicine Bow where you got basketweaving and leathercraft merit badges, great times. We always did an overnight to a rocky point north of Sandy Beach by canoe. Great perch fishing at Phillips Island. Very beautiful place. Chief Scoutmaster Jim Meritt. Led songs at the mess hall. Flea, flea fly flow, vista, cumma alotta, cumma alotta, cumma alotta vista, no, no, not la vista.............................. clapping knees to hands and it just got faster and faster. The Cat Came Back. Johhny Rebeck and the Sausage Machine, how could ya be so mean. Sandy Beach Song. "Pack up your duffel, hustle up to Sandy, smile, smile, smile, ...Have a Banana! Laughs are the style and the skies are blue, that's the place for you! Hey! What's the use of wandering, there's none can reach the beach, so hustle up your duffel up, your fun will double up at Sandy Beach! Sandy Beach. Rah, rah, rah, Sandy Beach Hoora ................. Yes, guess I have a lot of good memories that stuck with me about ~ 52 years later! remembered this off the top of my head, no internet cheating! Only old guys like me will get this.
