Beware local idiots

I've stayed at this spot before and it was quite lovely, local people and loging trucks drive up and down the road, but this last stay here my boyfriend and I were forced to leave due to someone setting off 3 explosives and firing a pistol 6 times on the other side of the river from us (the last explosion was thrown in the river practically at our tent). I don't know if this person even noticed (or cared to notice) the campfire smoke or the blue tarps because the site is quite exposed. Luckily forks is really close and we slept in a motel that night, but its still rude that we had to cut our trip short at all.

Great River site!

Easy to miss pull in to the dispersed site with river views and access. Small but intimate tent site with nice fire ring. Logging season was in full swing when we stayed, so lots of trucks hauling off the mountain started early.
