<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kraftblue, post: 12637871, member: 278&quot;]Ola, Our story would not be complete without a brief mention of the now-defunct scout camping area at the end of White Rock Road in Westerly. A 165-acre parcel known then as “Bumpin Hill” was offered to the Quequatuck Scouts to use, free of charge, by its owner, F. Samuel Nardone in 1949. The scout officers planned to develop a long-term program for the use and conservation of this land, but their plans never came to fruition. Aside from soliciting suggestions for a camp name, the history of the Bumpin Hill campground is a short one. A coldwater spring on the property was said to provide water pure enough for drinking, and tall oaks rising 164 feet above sea level had survived the 1938 hurricane. Nardone passed away in 1968 and the property has changed hands many times over the last fifty years. Signs of some quarrying operations can be seen on the property, but it is evident that the scouts moved on years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
