Some debris from the 2019 logging  in background.
We disposed of that in the fall of 2021 and further cleaned up the area

Looking from outhouse to shelter. That logging debris was burned Fall 2021.
We took three out of every ten 80 yr old trees in 2019 and it really helped make the forest more open and healthier
More on the tree farm logging-thinning project.
 



Our standard Outhouse
We keep it clean and there's a sack of lime with a cup. You throw in a cup when it's needed, an old trick for keeping pit toilets from getting too smelly.
TP is kept in a coffee can so it stays clean and dry.
Trail on right leads to a corner of the property (150yds) and a ladder at the end of the grass up through some rock and trail to the spring. If you hike to the spring please use care around the spring water tank and catch area. It is a sanitary area and feeds the campsites and Dave's house



Trail from parking with wheelbarrow to help take your stuff over to the shelter
 



Short trail to the bridge at the bottom
Please do not attempt to drive your car past the walk-in sign.
