Amazing the experiences that are filed under heading camping.
Finding that camping spot that is just right can be tough.My wife and I were
in middle of nowhere and I was on the hunt
for this off the beaten track rustic campground.
I think I was looking for a BLM site that was very seldom used.
The road got progressively worse and I wondered what lay ahead.
We pulled into a very primitive campground with one beat up
truck and two chained up wild looking and now barking dogs.
This guy was set up like he had been there 6 months.
A very wild looking guy was now looking at us with an expression
of "whose that coming tramping on my doorstep".
He had a couple of very serious looking rifles in the back window
of this truck and by this time I was wanting be just about anywhere
but here. Only stayed in a KOA once but bring it on now!
The way he was set up this was obviously home and
I wouldn't want to be the one to explain to him why it wasn't.
He was living off the land obviously and we did talk and he explained
where he had deer hung at this primitive camp not far away.
This was more information than I needed.
This wasn't deer season and I think they call this poaching.
Often wonder what happened to him.
It was a short conversation and we didn't exit the westy.
Entering a isolated campsite to find a armed and in my estimation,
not altogether stable, individual is a bit disconcerting.
It's all camping experience eh what?
