Buckinghorse River

Buckinghorse River

We did not travel far today.  We thought we left this morning about 9:20, then realized that the time has changed, so that actually we left at 8:20.  Small wonder no one else in the campground was up!  As it rained last night, our tent was quite wet, and we packed it away that way, so it was good to stop early just after lunch to let everything dry out.

We are at the Buckinghorse River campground.  It isn’t much of river, though I suppose it probably gets high in the spring from snow melt, nor is it much of a campground.  We are in the one and only nice site, which is back by the river, and a bit secluded by a bit of brush.  The other sites are just picnic tables lined up in a row, with enough space to park a trailer beside each.

After we had set up our tent and cooking shelter, we went for a wade and wash in the river.  It was pretty cold, especially when washing one’s hair!
