Sometimes you just need to brave the snow and see what is
around the bend. In this case Anthony
and the dogs surveyed our options and determined that we could make it through
the snow. And what was waiting for us
around the bend you ask. An amazing camp
site along the river completely away from civilization.
We found ourselves situated outside the entrance of Grouse
Campground. Grouse Campground is on the
shore of Goose Lake and was still closed for the season. However, this Free Range camping site was
sitting there unoccupied and just waiting for our arrival. Just like our camping expedition the weekend
before last we were situated along the river with the sounds of the flowing
river keeping us company day and night.
With snow on the ground we anticipated a very cold stay but were pleasantly
surprised by the moderate evening temperatures and beautiful 70 degree
days.
Because there was snow on the road it really discouraged others
from even checking to see if the campground was open thus we were left in
solitude all weekend long. In addition the
road above our site was also snowed in about ¼ mile from our location so travelers
that were hoping to access Goose Lake from a higher elevation were forced to
turn around and forsake their plans unless they were willing to hike in.
Raisin and Jay were thrilled with our camp site as once
again they were able to be off leash all weekend long. This camp site outdid our campsite from the
previous weekend. This one will be hard
to surpass with the combination of our seclusion, flowing river and complete
privacy all weekend long.
