Annual fall camp since2012 . Easy1 mile hike (if you take the right trail ) .
Kid friendly but there may be blood since squirrels may be roasted over the fire. Other wild things as well ,usually fall mushrooms .
Mixture of Bushcrafters and Hammock guys so far has worked out without bloodshed .

you are cordially invited

Hi riverjoe! I 'm working on the calendar to try and be there this year. I really enjoyed the last time. There is a second fire ring now in that campsite. There is a also a large tree that fell right next to the main fire ring. We have been there four times this summer and two of them were muddy and rainy. I sure hope this works out.

Yes, I took little Chad twice. Once to campsite 2 and once to campsite 1. It was rainy and muddy both times, so he wants to make sure the next time it is dry. I had to carry him and his pack over some of the long, water covered spots. That was a challenge. Glad to hear you are all recovered now.

Yes, Chad is going with me as long as it's not raining ��. The last two times we went were pretty miserable. I had to carry him over some of those long water filled muddy areas. We ended up hiking 3 miles in to the second site. I think this one will be a lot better.
