In October 1934, the company changed station to Waterford, Mississippi, where it developed one of the fines camp sites in the South.
In July 1935, the outfit moved westward to Camp Tahoe, Tahoe City, California. Winter saw the wandering company again on the move, occupying Camp Reno, four miles south of Reno, Nevada on Armistice Day.
