Winter there usually iare only 3 of us . As long as somebody else shows up I'm happy ....

Be great to see you again .Did you get your youngster out into the wild ?
Riverleo is all healed up at the moment so he'll be there .

Northern Indiana Bloodroot Trail Sept 23
Is that the marker for campsite one? I have never seen that since it is beyond my range.

Glad to be of service noel .
Dang that looked like a really good time . Im in the process of trying to get in better shape . Maybe Ill be able to make it next year . Geez I see Donk has some of those red plaid pants I covet too...
Surprisingly not. When I look in the big book I usually only find my name and two or three others .I Only sign in about every four months.
The campsite is $10. by the time we split it up it's usually about a dollar apiece per night. So, unless you're really really poor that should not be a factor.
I usually try and get there early Friday or even Thursday to put my money in the pipe . So far nobody has beat me . Even if they did the peninsula is about 4 acres or so Id just set up on the other...
Sometimes there is no lake , just a river , depending on when they close the dam . One camp I was at Mule was playing a diggerydoo made out of PVC . Don't see that everyday .
Do you play any musical instruments?
Seriously I can't think of anything special, just plenty of water or a filter. Same stuff you'd always take .
Just be sure to look for the yellow...
Here is map to campsite # 2 . NOTE exit 78 now 278 since 69 got lengthened .Note 2 Look for yellow pipe if you want shortcut , otherwise hike about 1.5 miles further .
