the wife and i up and decided at the last minute to get ower first camping trip of the year out of the way. it took us about 20 minutes to pack for it, we kayak camp all summer so we pretty much know what we need. we went out to the H N F and hiked about 2 miles back by the count of my GPS 4.5 miles round trip. found a nice little spot down in a seasonal flood plain.
here is the old road bed that leads in. my 3 labs Zane the sire jack the choc, and underdog the black. they are both his pups my picks of the litter.
