Silver Run

|

This is the Silver Run (creek), along Campsite 2. It's nice that there is a water source so close to the campsite.

Camping at Campsite 57

|

When I went up to Moose River Plains, on Friday morning, I sought a site up in Sandy Plains, far off the road so I could have one with lots of peace and quiet.

Total Privacy

|

The site I found for camping offered total privacy. I was far off the road, I could change without hiding in the truck, take a shower, buck naked. This made me happy. Being nude is fun.

Firepit and Table

This is the fire pit, camping gear box, water bottles, picnic table, and most importantly, the cooler filled with ice and beer.
