More and folks, happy August 6th, 2017. It's the Dog Days of Summer. I decided to go up this weekend up to Brent Ross from the State Forest. Unfortunately, the Upper Betty Brook Road Bridge is closed. Some Yahoo's decided to cut up the bridge. So I'm actually down at the campsite on this Mill Brook Road or whatever the main drag is. I've never actually camped out this campsite before because I don't like really being on the main road. I think there's a lot of traffic. Actually, isn't because it's kind of remote road, even though it does run between a blend of them and summit. Traffic's been very light. A few cars. I actually have tractor went through earlier today. Like seven in the morning, you know, going chug chug chug chug. So I'll take you back to my campsite. I actually like this campsite surprisingly. Yeah, it's a kind of nice, I mean, it's close to the road, which is the one I don't like. But it's on the Betty Brook and a nice fire pit. And there was actually a fair bit of wood from whoever camped here left, left, left, which is great. I didn't get here until seven o'clock. I thought I did some char calling. Yeah. I watched my truck on Thursday. It's all coupled with mud by Sunday, but so be it. Yeah, here's the campsite. I'll just take your out. Got our flags up. I only put up the gatson and the mull and lab flag and the US flag actually left my shotgun home. I was like, that crazy camping on this main road, you know, all alone. But no protection. Right here was fine. So yeah, just walking around. There's some cars in here coming by now. I can't stop lantern. Chair. Right now I'm cleaning up the stove a little bit. And yeah. I just knew what those cars were doing. Nice big red cover of mud. Nice fire pit. Last night I started the fire with some charcoal and I heated up some burgers on. Forgot charcoal. Really, it's good when you cook on that. I used to do charcoal a lot. This griddle that has a grill surface on the back. I've gotten away from using charcoal. But I mean, charcoal is actually really, I mean, has such a good flavor in parts in the burgers. And I know I like good burger or a mad camp when you cook on the charcoal. Yesterday when I was swimming, the weather wasn't all that nice. I thought I was going to clear out earlier, but it was kind of cool. And there are times when it was cloudy. I actually had the pool all to myself. Now I just got some flag and mull of obflaig. And here's the Betty Brook. Let's walk down here. It's an old, uh, a truck structure of some sort. It should give the, uh, red chair. So the traffic is picking up now that people are out and about. But still it's pretty quiet last night. A few cars. I like fear there'd be some Yahoo. It'll be hot in the middle of the night. But there actually wasn't. There was actually not very little traffic after I'd say eight o'clock or so. So camping was fine. I mean, I don't like, I've never like kept them about, uh, some kind of a firearm, just for personal protection. I mean, I wouldn't shoot someone, but, uh, you know, someone gets up. So the campsite is going to yell at you. And so, you know, hit, threatening your ass and you know, you can tell them to fuck out of there. And, um, yeah, I think it would have been a bit of a stupid target shooting. There's a nice, pretty good berm here. I'm like, I look careful. There's the roadcars. It thinks it's around the back. I'm in its road. But, uh, yeah. This campsite worked. Um, I was saying Betty Brook Road right now. Uh, you can access it from the south, but it's, you know, so rough. It always has been really rough. And, um, the upper bridge in Betty Brook Road is closed. It might have brought it out, but I think someone took a, uh, uh, hatchet or an axe to the bridge. It was just stupid. Why would you destroy, uh, bridge that goes to a popular camping area? I don't, I don't get it. Uh, duck pond campsites also closed, um, because of, uh, logging. There's, uh, a lot of logging going there. I don't know if they didn't want people camping there. I just decided to leave their equipment there, but there's a skid loader there right now. And, um, what do you call it? A bunch of logs are sitting there, and some transmission fluids. So, well, it is what it is. Uh, I'm sure that campsite will be opened by, uh, you know, the end of the logging season this year. And, uh, Betty Brook, like an axe from the south, and I hope the state does rebuild the bridge. I mean, that's a very popular campsite at this way. It's a hairy county. In part, because I like camping there. But there's lots of live records that do keep there, uh, from time to time. So, that's my video. I hope you enjoyed it, and, uh, enjoying a beautiful summer. It's not gonna last forever.
