Camping on East Branch Spring 2017

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.
