Not so nice part of town with excellent buildings, art and 19th century structures. Exercise caution, this is one of the most dangerous areas in the United States.

On a cold winter January, I decided to explore the outskirts of Camden along Broadway Turnpike. Broadway is a major artery of Camden and at one time every important building, organization and government outpost could be found on this road. This is the second offering of waymarks from that visit. I was scared of being attacked when I visited. The locals looked liked hungry, angry lions, sizing me up as their prey. They eyed my camera, GRPS and me with suspicion and scorn. If you want to visit this area, maybe try GoogleEarth. Incidentally, if you look at the coordinates using GoogleEarth, and zoom in, you will notice half a dozen police cars; must have been a slow day! And so, without further ado, here is a list of my seven waymarks, in descending category order.
