Day 2: Hilltop to Mack’s

Made an early play to get into first choice Fletcher View campground, but full up again. Today is 4th of July after all.

So with all systems checked out and working, we decided to plunge right in to “dry camping.” Headed out for Mack’s Canyon Open Campground, “disbursed camping” in the wilderness.

Mack’s signpost — should include “road narrows!”

A long 5 miles of 4-wheel drive advised gravel/dirt track later, at the end of the “road” and here we are. All the way up the canyon; no one, and nothing, around. And no cell service, so no internet! Dry camping indeed. Totally dry.

It took some “rocky engineering” to find a spot and get the truck level. Well, level enough. “Engineer On Board”. Good thing.

And finally, set up for evening wine & cheese time (complete with trailer trash lights– knew we’d need that generator).

So, maybe not totally dry in every way.

One thought on “Day 2: Hilltop to Mack’s”

  1. I love the lights! And I thought for sure you’d have that seriously good canned wine you brought us in the hospital, but why not keep a box going for the trip.
    I can just taste those cheese chunks! Keep on reporting all the good food Peter arranged for your trip, and we can fantasize about being there with you down that long road.
