How can I get to Sun Mountain, Jamaica?

I was a missionary on Sun Mountain, Jamaica in 1983 and would like to visit there. Anyone know the best way to get there (cab, tour guide, etc.)?

Carolyn is one of the best, most knowledgeable guides on island and an old friend. Soloman Kerr out of Negril is also good for Westmoreland Parish exploring. I've never heard of 'Sun Mountain' -- must be in de bush -- but she'll find it.

Hey, Tivertonhouse! I talked with Carolyn, but she doesn't know where it is. Any ideas on how I can find exactly where Sun Mountain is so she can help me get there? P.S. Thanks for the tip!

I've never heard of it either.

You might check with the b board at jamaicans.com - lots of Jamaicans post there someone might know.

Do you recall what parish it was in or what general area? Is it a town name or a church or a camp or...?

I didn't have any of the location details when I was there. I've tried contacting that group.
It was a camp on top of the mountain that we built dormitories for.
Thanks for the tip.

Try to mentally retrack your arrival/departure in 83.Did you come thru MoBay or Kingston;how long did it take to get to Sun Mt.and was it in high mountains or just atop a hill;do you remember any towns, landmarks en route or nearby;do you remember the name of the church affiliate group on island you worked with or any of the pastors/priests. Like finding misplaced keys, it might work == or at least give Carolyn some more clues. Good luck.
