Whispering Pines in Hope Valley.
We were right on the edge of the grounds...site was huge! We had 2 large tents, a pop up over the table, fire pit and plenty of room to play ladder ball and have the hubby's truck parked. And we had a rear row seat to some coyote action...they were howling Friday nite in the distance. Then stopped. Then my oldest, in his tent across from us says cautiously, "What was thaaaaaaaat?" Laughed my ass off. |

LOL, that's awesome. We've heard them up there, and seen their tracks in the snow in the winter.
The Boy Scout camp we go to, Yawgoog, is just down the road another mile or so. Beautiful area...the Troops camps there in the Fall and winter, too. And the pics loaded this time (???), they're great, too! |

Only issue was a nearby truck camper who left food out which attracted skunks. I cleaned up after him once, but...I could hear the beasties running by our tents to get to his site <shudder>. Never knew I had such awesome bladder control (we were a ways away from the facilities, and I don't do "find a tree." We also had a large owl over us in a branch. Very cool listening to him. We don't have a lot of owls locally. Falcons, hawks, vultures...yeah...but not owls. |

By far the best setup I have seen for real. I like the outdoor movie and the cabin rocks one of a kind. Looks like it has a very warm feel to it.

It was wonderful to get a real and hot shower when you're in for more than a couple of days at a time. Looks like you got a nice bull. Extra points for the mule. |

Yeah, it can be brutally hot and dry. We always did our hiking at 1st light and off the trail by noon. Then we'd go hang by the river or in town. We also did some car tours of petroglyphs and such in order to stay in the A/C.
Dry, dryer, driest. I suspect late September is the best time of year to go. |

Well Arches was not too bad for me but we decided to stay a night in Canyonlands a couple days later and THAT was HOT. We stayed in a campsite where ther was a large rock formation running through the middle of it and we made the mistake of setting up camp on the east side which was fine till the sun rose on our tent and it was like 106 at 7:00 AM. |

Any lessons learned or gear you wish you had with you? A good sleeping pad is necessary for the bag to work, otherwise you lose your body heat into the ground. The military closed cell pads are inadequate in my experience. You need to keep your water from freezing or from being unbearably cold. A bottle beats out a bladder because they are easier and safer to keep near the fire. Dummy cord your important gear and be very aware of where you set something down or better yet put something away after use so it doesn't get lost in the snow. In most places cold weather means much shorter days and if the temp starts dropping and the sun goes down before you get set up it could get very real very quickly. Brush snow off of your clothing and gear so it doesn't melt and freeze. Protect your footwear with gaiters if necessary. Bring a friend, and backup firestarting method(it's ok to "cheat" with a starter log or gas or something). Let someone at home know exactly where you will be and what to do if you don't show up on time. For hiking in the mountains snow shoes are more trouble then they are worth in my opinion. My friend in the pictures used them and even though he won't admit it I think they slowed him down. |

Great pics, guy!
My real camping season just ended, no more weekend Boy Scout trips for us until September, although we have a week long camp coming up... we did every month from September through June, though! Now it's family camping time!
