Period authentic structure at Two Creeks encampment 2018-01-15 - Two Creeks Primitive Encampment, Glens Fork area, Adair County, KY - Photo from Ken Hill. A popular gathering place at the past weekend, January 12-14, 2018, at 3rd annual "2 Creeks* Primitives Encampment and Shooting Match was this authentic permanent structure, what Daniel Boone called a "half-faced-shelter" - snug when compared to canvas enclosures. This photo was taken with advance party visitors on Thursday, January 12, 2018, with, from left, Cheryl Tillery, Columbia, KY; Guy Kroll of Pennsylvania; Jake Hill of Glens Fork, KY; Preston Coomer of Columbia, KY; and Scott Illsley of Pennysylvania.

Have to say, we probably couldn't have made it through the encampment without this structure. It accommodates up to seven, and the fire, with the reflector free stone masonry wall, kept those in each rotation relatively warm, and it was the only place in the camp where water didn't freeze.
