Ankeny #1

Ok for a quick stay

We ended up here when we decided to stop and camp for the night when it was getting late on our drive home to Spokane. It was a Sunday night and we were the only vehicle there other than a truck that appeared to be unattended.

It’s free (with a Discover Pass) and not far off of Highway. It’s close to the water and was really pretty as the sun was setting.

It was very buggy. I ended up with multiple mosquito bites including one on the bottom of my foot after applying bug spray.

There was a sign there saying no fires. However it was apparent that other campers had made fires there. Just FYI.

The pit toilet was a little sketch and the door had to be held shut with a rock so it wouldn’t swing wide open when empty, but it was well stocked with toilet paper.

It got very windy at night even though it was completely calm when we went to bed. Just a warning to be sure to stake your tent out if you are tenting it like we were. Our tent tried to make a break for it when we were unpacking in the morning.
