Don't look back, burn some bridges and paper, I tell myself as I enjoy my final campfire of my 30s, in my little celebration of my birthday in the woods.
Taken on Saturday January 28, 2023 at Rensselearville State Forest.This is one of the three campsites on Garnet Road. All of them are 30 feet above the road on a ledge. Most or all have vehicular access blocked off, so you have to park in the parking area, for the trail head to Round Pond.
Taken on Friday April 22, 2011 at Garnet Lake.Two years ago, my first camping trip of the year was along the East Branch of the Sacanadaga River at an old house site that has been long used as a designated campsite. Even camping in late April, there was still a fair bit of ice and residual snow left.
The first night it drizzled a bit, so I bought a tarp and strung it up. Later in the evening it tapered off. I brought some wood and starting fluid, so it got a good fire going quickly, and it wasn’t too bad.
It got nice by morning, and I cooked up a pretty good breakfast on the griddle.
No complaints about the sun after all rain and dampness the previous night.
The first day, I drove over to Garnet Lake.
And did some fishing, without much luck in Mill Creek.
I got back to camp and cooked up some burgers.
The following night I had a nice little fire.
Then retired to my well lit truck cap.
The next day, I hiked back to Auger Falls.
Above the falls, in the flats, the water was quiet, the birds were singing.
In case you don't want to spend the night at the lean-to.

On the state land along the east side, there are several clearings where there once where extra campsites developed. These areas, besides the section where the road runs right on the edge of the lake, gives you a good view of Ross Mountain, and just out of the frame, Mount Blue.
