Nice view and tranquility

The gps for this site was off. It says to take a left at the fork. But the reservoir is to the right. Just follow the posted sign. It was nice and peaceful, tad bit chilly since it’s October. Last year I wasn’t able to get a spot near the lake but there is so many places to boondock up there.

We decided to venture out to the Brundage Reservoir area, hoping to find a campsite since we were arriving quite late. Driving down a pot-holed, dirt road for quite awhile, we found ourselves concerned that we may not find something. We then spotted a beautiful lake through the trees. Both of us, as well as our pup, were amazed as we made our way through some brush, at which point we saw an open spot right next to the water. We unpacked, pitched our tent and settled in for the night (see photo). Waking up with the sun and making french press by the fire was a great way to the start the day in this majestic area.
