Directions to Pioneer Scout Reservation (PSR):

Take US-20 West to US-127, bear left (South) and then right, back West on US-20.  Pass the traffic light leading into Pioneer in favor of going straight West and maintain straight when the highway bends.  By doing that you wind up on back road County Q.  If you miss that road just continue to SR-576 and then go right (North).  Others prefer to go through Pioneer.  In any event just work your way over to Roads "S" & "8".  This is about 5 miles West of the town.  Watch out for critters crossing the road!
 
PSR is West of the intersection of County Roads "S" and "8" on Co. Rd. S.  Lettered roads run East-West and numbered roads run North-South.  Once at S & 8 go West on the rough gravel road about a 1/4 mile to the entrance on the North side of the road.  Go past the home and the "physical plant" type operations to a set of structures, the one on the left being a mess hall, and look for the people or signs.
