This place is absolutely beautiful. But…
lots people( this place has so many site we couldn’t even count them all, loud( bad ) music , loud trucks driving recklessly,
Children crying, drunk folks whooping and hollerin into the wee hour of the night, dogs barkin and fighting,poop all around the camp site conveniently left unburied with the paper, trees used for ax throwing practice, tent stakes driven into trees, unattended fire pits smoldering , fire pits filled with garbage,fireworks, chainsaws running at all hours. Oh and let’s not forget the Gun fire on Saturday night then this is the place for you!
Awakened Friday morning at 8 am to Nas x at volume 11 echoing the length of the valley was not in our plan but … we got very adept at setting up and breaking down camp as one is left with the impression your stuff might not still be there if you left it out and went for a hike
Every night it was pack it all up and lock the car before bed
Basically this trip was a lesson in how crappy people can be in the forest
The few good parts
Chorus of frogs in the evening
Elk sleeping twenty feet from our camp site
And meeting Jackie and Brea the world traveling dogs ( seriously these two pups have been to like six different countries)
Jackie is maybe ten pounds and fearless, she saw the elk and was ready to chase it down as she had never seen one before
