eve walk

Eve walk in behind. more lakes beyond the campsite down the forrest rec road. lots of paths to wander on. 2 track are for the ATV's and the horses. once on single track no ATV's,mountain bikes yes. we saw only one other person. We went later in the day as it was quite hot mid day. left around 600 and got back around 800pm. lots of wild flowers in the grasslands, birds and mosquitos in the shade. best to avoid the shade as we did get eaten alive at one point when we ventured into a marshy area in the shade.

dog found a small watering hole and he actually went in.
