    East Fork Campground

    June 11, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    We originally planned to stay at Park Creek Campground, possibly boondocking further in away from the established campground. The snow melt is happening so much later than normal this year. The creeks and rivers are so high!

    When we pulled up, the bridge was out due to water. The whole campground was closed. 😖

    IOverlander's app showed another campground not far that had boondocking sites by a creek. So we decided to forgo the established CG and make our way down the gravel forest road.

    Remember I said they had a lot of water? Remember what happens to gravel roads during wet seasons? Yes, washouts and washerboard road. Goblin did fine but Cherub was suffering hard.

    We got to a cattle crossing and decide to turn around as the CG was still a mile away.

    Ended up paying 22.00 for East Fork CG. 22.00 for a pit toilet and a picnic table. At least the pit toilet was super clean.

    Very quiet, beautiful stars, and you can hear the creek rushing in the background. It got pretty cold during the night. Probably in the low 40s.
