A Scout troop has been emailing me, asking questions about camping possibilities for a backpacking trip they are taking. Well, that was a good enough excuse to go exploring, right?
You've seen this location before (see link at bottom). I was quite surprised to find that there was even more water there today than in early June. I was unable to get on the little island at all. (Well, I didn't feel like wading)
I couldn't even get across an area that had only been damp before. So I hiked around the back side of a wet meadow, and got up on a nice dry maple ridge. Here's the view of the wetland from the top of that ridge.
I think this is just a wonderful spot where one could camp. I like the view of the water through the trees. The warm weather just makes any time in the woods extra delicious!

ReplyDeleteEveryone- I'm actually surprised that I was willing to share this location with the Scouts. I had sort of felt like keeping it a "secret." But that's silly. It's a National Forest, and hunters and others walk this area all the time. Although there is no official named trail there, a well-worn volunteer trail exists. They can use the spot and it will still be "mine" when I want it.
ReplyDeleteThe Scouts are going to just love it!
ReplyDeleteHow smart of them to ask you for your advice!
You are quite generous to share
ReplyDelete"your" spot! I am sure the scouts will appreciate it.
