Right next to the old bridge was this lovely camp area..the host reccomended this as a good place to camp. I noticed upon pulling up, that indeed I would have the whole site to myself...pondering this, I quickly saw the probable reason why the place was wide open...-that night I could sleep next to the ghost of the CNW, and who knows whose other may ghost may come a 'callin here!!!! -Needless to say, I chose another spot quite a ways in the opposite direction!!! |
