Can anyone here tell me the exact location of the new camp besides "It's on a one acre plot next to the Bush Ranch."? The Bush Ranch is a 1600 acre spread and that's pretty big.

The best I've been able to determine is that it might be at the junction of the Canaan Church Road and Prairie Chapel Road based on a rough hand drawn map I saw on one site. Some articles state that it's next to the Canaan Baptist Church which, according to that church's webpage is located at 177 Coryell Road, Crawford. http://www.google.com/local?hl=en&hs=oX4&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=canaan+baptist+church&near=Crawford,+TX+76638&sa=X&oi=locald&radius=0.0&latlng=31559765,-97389992,7679657754613141340

To get from that church to the Bush Ranch entrance, according to yahoo and google maps, ones drives NE down Coryell Road, turn left on Canaan Church Road, turn right on Prairie Chapel Raod, continue down Ranier Road and then turn left on Mill Road. Mill Road leads to the Bush Ranch house complex. Distance from the church to the Bush Ranch house is a little over 3 miles.

I'd just go to Crawford and ask, myself. With all the media attention, everyone should know where it is.
And btw, 1600 acres isn't all that big. It seems really small once taken into perspective. I mean, some of the ranches I've seen can fit several small towns.

Going down to Crawford myself isn't really an option and with all the media attention, I thought it would be easy to find the info that I was looking for but after spending many hours reading articles and checking websites, not one gave a good description of where it is.

If the camp is right next to the Cannan Baptist Church, it really can't be right next to the Bush Ranch as that's over 2 miles to the east at the end of Rainer and Mill Road.

I've read no report where it was stated that the protestors at the new camp said they can see the Bush Ranch house complex and while some reporters said, while checking out the new site before the move, they saw Bush riding his bike, that could be off in the distance on a trail or road that's on the edge of his property.

Find Fort Qualls and you can probably find Camp Casey.

Fort Qualls is in the town of Crawford itself.
