Winter Camping Terrain

Three nights out in bitter cold. In spite of that, the *terrain was inviting and the experience invigorating. The only thing heard at night was the crackling of the stove in my Alaknak and cracking tree limbs in the frigid moonlight.

Over the creek...

Past a spring fed water hole...

There are faint wisps of steam.

And on to the camp site.

There is a ban on taking your own firewood in this neck of the woods. However, there is an abundance of wood supply and a lot of dead trees and branches close by. The creek was our water supply, a bit safer than the Eramosa. I didn't take any water from the spring - not sure why.

I'll be showing other pics on another thread.

Yes, they are trying to slow the spread of invasive species. They ask campers in the state parks here to only bring heat treated firewood, or purchase wood on site. I can understand that. North America is losing all its ash trees because of an invasive bug or fungus.

...the Mountain Pine Beetle effects pines and the invasive Emerald Ash borer does a job on other species. We just never know where Camping Babble threads will lead us.

Let's take the other foot bridge and back to camp.
