Base camp
We are at what we call Base Camp, our main camp spot in this area. This morning Marty and I decided to walk up along the creek, above us a ways.
Scenic creek
It’s really a scenic creek, I think I’ve said that before.
Walk 1
I’m following Marty as we work our way up along the creek.
Marty is checking something out in the rocks, but I forgot what.
We stopped often to just sit and enjoy the woods. 
We walked through here as our camp is just up ahead in the woods.
It was nap time when we got back to camp.
Walk two
Later in the day we walked downstream to the crossing, along here.
Murdock Crossing
Murdock used to have a big ranch here and this is the road crossing on the creek.
Marty leaves and heads back to the vans.. I continue my walk downstream along that far side, working my way along, an easy trail.
I followed a cow trail along here. The creek is off to the left in the willows. I made it into those big trees before turning back.
On the way back, I followed this cow trail through the trees. Cows make such nice trails.
Just through here and beyond the trees is a big meadow that I crossed.
I made it back to the road crossing the creek. Almost back to camp.
The sun is low in the sky and I’m almost back to our camp. The vans can be seen in the trees.
Camp
As I get closer to the vans, camp appears and I go on in for a cup of coffee.
Nice day.
