I seem to remember that CG being closed in the past because of some hazardous trees, as well. |
I have wondered why it closed and never re-opened. That was a very nice campground, I have fond memories of camping there with my family in the early 90's. I caught my biggest Steelhead ever while we were there, although the last trip was not so fun as the No See Um Mozzies were unbearable.
Anyone recall when it closed and if it will ever re-open? Up until a few years ago I would pull in there for a rest stop before they put up the barriers.
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
