Moose River Plains
on September 6, 2010.
Moose River Plains is a 50,000 acre state recreation area parcel between the West Canadian Creek Wilderness and Blue Ridge Wilderness. It has 150 road-side campsites (some set as far as mile off the road), along a 40 mile rough dirt roads, along with many beautiful lakes and mountains surrounding it. These are the pictures I took on that particular Monday in September.
