The Bunce School, impressive ironclads, and plane wrecks are all cited. There was lots of camping. Bunce School Road is a forest road and part of a county road. Side trips to the Ironclads and T-33 Plane Crash are difficult. The final climb to the Ironclads is very steep, but you are close enough to go the rest of the way.
