Was a great time! Good snow, good food, good site, got eyes on a fox walking the ice on the reservoir, and tested some new gear. What more could you want. Overnight low of around 18 deg. And about 3"of overnight snow accumulation, made for a beautiful hike out this morning. Looking forward to showing you a sweet hang down in my part of state Zach.
Next Saturday the 15 th 25 high 12 low . Keeps getting better . I will be there . Hope the fox is still around . Ill bring the 4x4 .
Map to the campsight . Feb 14 and 15 .
Red = non interstate automobile .
Blue = foot power to campsight
Green = boat to campsight
Parking lot
Follow red path to small lot for foot traffic parking .
Do not take the last left but go straight down 700 W to boat ramp and boat ramp parking if you elect to come by boat .
Topo of the same trail . Black line is the designated trail . Blue line is the shortcut behind the yellow pipe gate .
Homemade Hiker are you still coming ? Looks like 2 or 3 bcusa guys coming . The little parking lot we usually park in was not plowed I presume . How bad was it ? I really don't want to take the 4wd 13 mpg down if I don't have to .
Yep, I'm in gonna head in Friday. For some solo action.
Park at the small parking lot (with the outhouse) down from the boat ramp. The 700 W is plowed up to that point. Then hike to the trial head, adds about 10 mins to the trip if you use the road. The snowmobiles have broken trail down the road and all the way to camp. I should have nice fire going when everyone arrives. I'm also bringing so extra dinner goodies to share with folks.
Call if you want and I can meet and help carry things if needed.
Directionally challenged...comicly so.
Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.
Davros headed out Fri morn so maybe not alone time . Ill be there later in the afternoon .
Hey this is kinda like my first official Hammock Forums hang. I'm coming Friday. Probably wont get there till around noon.
See ya around 6!Originally Posted by Davros
I hid some firewood under a pile of snow to the left of the firepit (if your back is to the river). dig until you find a red emergency blanket.
I'll also be bringing in another load when I arrive so don't work to hard getting fire wood. Even though I do expect I nice warm fire when I arrive

Well was going by to say "Hi" with the wife. Got stuck trying to get around the 4x4 stuck in the ditch..humm Did see that a Jeep made it in. My 4x4 got us out but ALOT of shoveling to do it. Went to the Interpretive Center(nature center). Hiked about 3 miles and went back. Told them about stuck trucks and to plow you out. I don't thinked they cared about campers at that point.. Eagle Watch was underway.
Hope everybody got out OK..
I think I heard you. There is easier parking if you follow the picnic site signs (for future reference). Everybody unstuck and good to go. Sorry we missed ya! Maybe next time.
