Nice quiet spot in SHNF, has portapotty on-site. Some soft spots after heavy rain, great solar and Noone else here but me. It is a weekday and not hunting season so it's peaceful. Plenty of down and dead wood for firewood. Road in was soft but easily managed in a 2wd, can get just about any vehichle in here with at least ungrounded clearance, cars will have to dodge potholes.
The last few years there have been MANY families LIVING at this site all deer season. There is absolutely zero respect for others around. They run generators all night that are as loud as motorcycles. A dad there let's his boys go "squirrel hunting" right next to camp. I have never seen them kill a squirrel but they shoot a full box of shells each day to keep the deer away. The location is perfect for a hunter but this place has become a trailer park. I will be finding a different place to hunt this year. I grew up hunting here with my dad and have a vast respect and love for the SHNF. But this hunters camp needs a full time ranger and rules.
I tried finding an elusive spot to go kiss my uncle in the back of my Ram 2500 Cummins one cold day in January. I figured there wouldn't be anyone there on a cold weekend, but then I saw all these grown men with beards and mustaches playing volleyball in the woods. In the woods? GROWN👏 MEN👏! What's wrong with this world, like grow up? That's a sport for kids or women. Well, needless to say, I will NEVER go back there to get some action ever again, regardless of which uncle is looking Hella spicy. 1 star out of 5 👎 Cheeta, Bob USMC PFC MOS: 3381 (1976-1977) Retired
