The beaver pond
The beaver pond has so many reflections in it this morning that it was hard to see the pond.
We were camped under the trees and the sun wasn’t getting through, so we broke camp early and drove on down to this intersection and got some sun before taking off to explore for the day.
We were exploring along the creek to look for new camp spots or anything else that looked interesting.
While driving along, we spotted a small gate in the fence so stopped and went through the gate to see where it went as it looked like it was headed towards the creek. We ended up in this big meadow that the creek ran around.
We drove around the meadow until we hit the creek than drove around it following it down stream.
We stopped here and decided this would be a good place to camp, but the sun was too hot right now.
We moved the van’s up on the hillside under the big trees for some shade and will return to the other spot by the creek when the sun goes down.
This was our view from our camp on the hillside. The creek runs in the willows out there.
It was a fairly nice looking creek with quite a bit of water in it.
This was our spot out of the sun for the day.
Walk
Later on in the day, Marty and I went for a little walk down along the creek, through here.
And through here. Marty turned back here and I walked a bit further checking out the creek as it was a real nice looking one.
I’d say the creek was real scenic.
I went down through here, picking my way as I went through the willows.
I made it to here where I turned around and started back taking my time.
Camp
The sun finally went down so we moved back to this spot by the creek for the night and it’s also a spot that will get early morning sun.
Nice day.
