Went up to a much quieter campground. With the passing of the last holiday weekend of summer, the hunters are out and the yahoos are gone. Hunters by and large make much quieter neighbors. People in B Loop closing up camp, except of course for Tofts and Patmores. Mike came up and took his trailer out for the year. Richard’s quad is still in various pieces in his … [Read more...]

The women stay in camp. Don't ask me why I … [Read more...]

Guess who is closing earlier now that the season is … [Read more...]
