Afternoon At Camp

|

This past weekend I camped once again at Campsite 5. I knew this campsite wouldn't be too muddy, it was protected from the wind and some of the road noise, plus there was that great big pile of firewood.

The upper part of Teachout Road was severely washed out after last year's late October storm and is still only being rebuilt now.
