Great North Woods Stay
We stayed in site 55 which is spacious and it was easy to find a level spot. The sites are nicely spaced, the base is reddish sandy dirt that tracks. We had enough sun access on a fully sunny day to top off the Jackery and phones, not the case with partly cloudy. The shower house is huge and kept very clean. The cell signal at our site came and went but it was stronger in many other locations in the park. Recycling was available for cans and bottles only. Copper Falls is a great place to hike and ideal for riding bikes to access points (which is why we got the bikes!) I was reading Halfway to Heaven and while we weren’t climbing mountains our hike did make me feel a connection with the stories. Arriving I declared I wanted to a bear and an elk. We didn’t see an elk. The first morning a juvenile black bear came into our site lured by the breakfast that was cooked outside. Fortunately due to the concentration of mosquitoes we were eating inside. Turns out it’s the first one in the campgrounds in 10 years! We spent a couple of hours in Ashland and enjoyed our trip, loved our lunch at the brewery!
