Campsite From The Road

|

This is the second time I've camped at Moose River Plains Campsite 68. It's not far off the road but well elevationed and about a 1/2 mile in one direction from the nearest campsite, and maybe a mile in the other direction. Nestled between Mount Tom and Mitchell's Pond Mountain the radio reception is non-existent, but it's nice to be away from the news on NPR for a while. At mile point 7 from the Limekiln Lake Entrance, it's not too far from Inlet.

Made Some Good Muffins

Came out fully cooked, not at all burnt on the bottom. I'm glad, because in Boy Scouts with the reflector and dutch ovens, we always ended up burning our food.
