I camped there (Medicine Bow Nat Forest) many, many, many moons ago. So long in fact that the only things I can remember are:
1. The chipmunks had no fear and seemed to enjoy unpacking my food/cooking boxes
2. The area was beautiful
3. Camp fees were on the honor system
4. In July, any low lying, moist areas are breeding grounds for swarms of mosquitoes - and I do mean SWARMS
sounds great!! i hope the skeeters are long gone in sept. thanks for the info and will write about my adventure when i return...

All of my WY hanging trips - and most od any kind of WY trips but not all - have been in the Wind River Mountains a bit north west of MBNF. But my first ever trip to WY was way years ago when I lived in CO. I think we couldn't get a camp site in RMNP maybe on July 4th weekend so we just kept driving. Saw an interesting green spot on the map and headed for it and camped. I remember beautiful rugged peaks. I just remember thinking it was real beautiful, but the fine details of memory are fairly dim.
Now if you want details on the Winds, that I can do!
I'll probably take you up on that in a couple of months. I figure I'll be heading out there with some regularity :shades:Quote:

Traveling through WY on way from Chicago to SF and want to find a couple of days to hike, fish and hang. I am open to all suggestions. Thanks!
