Hi all! I found this board doing a search on Charlie Lawson. I am fascinated by all of the hunt pictures. I was curious about Union Elementary. A NC native, I know I've heard of this school, and it certainly looks familiar, but where is it located? My search skills may not be so good, since I can't find it on google.
It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! ;D

The easiest way to find it, whether you come from north or south is to first get on Hwy 601 south of it's intersection with larger Hwy 74. This is the OLD Union Elementary we're speaking of - not to be confused with the new Union Elementary which is a few miles away on White Store Road. I think one of the buildings on the campus may still be used for some sports related purpose, but there is seldom anyone there. The rest of the buildings are either condemned or have already been torn down. In fact, I'm not sure which buildings are still there because I know that recently one large one was torn down (after our last Hunt there.) Anyway, once you're on Hwy 601 if you're coming from the south: Take a right on State Line Rd. (which, you guessed it - follows the NC/SC state line.) There should a caution light right there. Then within a few hundred feet take a left on Old Pageland-Marshville Rd. This is the actual road that the old school is on. I'm not sure of the exact distance, but it's somewhere between one and four miles. If you go around a sharp curve, the road will change names to Old Pageland-Monroe Rd. and you've gone too far. If you come to the stop sign with caution light at White Store Rd., you've gone way too far. It will be on the right hand side of the road. If you're coming from the north: The easiest way would be to take Hwy 601 South (not to be confused with 601 North which branched of Hwy 74 many miles before.) After a few miles take a left on White Store Rd. A couple miles later you will come to a flashing caution light (there might be one before this, I don't remember.) Take a right onto Old Pageland-Monroe Rd. ((On a side note, if you want to see the 'new' Union School -about 10 years old- keep following White Store, take a right at the fork and go about 10 miles.)) You will spend about 10 minutes on this road and you will suddenly come to a fairly sharp curve in the road. This is where Old Pageland-Marshville Rd. joins up and the road changes names. Within 3 to 4 miles or less, you will pass the old school on your left.
These are the clearest directions I can possibly give. Hope it helps.
