We are sitting in a beautiful meadow at 6,000ft wild camping. Yesterday, we had our down jackets on as a liner for our wool overcoats with spitting snow. This solstice evening it’s warm, the fire is going, and dinner is cooking. We put some Credence Clearwater Revival on as we wait for dinner. No sooner than the mellow tunes drift quietly over the campsite and we are visited by a mama mule deer. She strolls right into the edge of our camp, stands there for a couple of minutes watching us and listening to CCR! Then she turns and strolls back into the forest. We heard the echo of…Credence! I Love Credence!
We also hit the mother lode of pine pitch fire starter! We spent a little time this afternoon gathering oozing pitch from the Ponderosa Pine covering our little meadow. We then cooked it down into a soup can ready for our next years worth of campfires!
wow, one could stay in this place for a long time 🙂
Hi Astrid! Sometimes we stay a few too many nights and sometimes a few too few. This was a place we could have spent several weeks. Hope you are well!
