Hunting season is in full swing, so it’s getting harder to avoid hunters when camping in the forest. However, this is the best weather for camping. I generally try to camp out during the week, although sometimes that doesn’t work out. There were no hunters when we arrived on Friday, but we woke up to the sounds of dogs and gunfire on Saturday morning.
Having said that, we had a very pleasant trip. We arrived a couple hours before sunset on Friday. It was warm and the sun was shining. We were able to take our time setting up our campsite. We cooked hotdogs over a small fire shortly after it got dark and we went to bed early because it was cooling off and we didn’t really have much else to do. I read in my hammock for a while and dozed off early.
My partner slept in my infamous hot tent for the first time. I wanted her to experience the hot tent; it’s an interesting bit of kit. It seems to retain some heat and it offers total privacy, if you want it.
We had a very lazy morning on Saturday. The goal was to avoid the early morning hunters and I think we were successful in doing that.
I took a couple of photos on our way out. It probably won’t be long before most of the leaves are falling to the ground and the forest starts looking more like winter. I think I prefer the forest in the summer, when it’s green and the canopy is thick, but I do more boating than hiking in the hot months, so I probably spend more time in the forest in the cold months.
