Andover, OH

I am perhaps the only person on the entire site who knows where Andover is and/or has been there

Why have you been to Andover? Not too many people know where we are except for hunters and fishermen. Eddie and Nick do a great job with the camp. This is our 3rd year doing the camp and everybody that has attented has been very pleased.

If you read my bio, I like to hunt and fish

Seriously, I grew up not far from there in Pa. Anyone who has been across the Pymatuning causeway has been to Andover.
