Day 36, Saturday, Oct 8: Louis Lake Road dispersed camping, south of Lander on route 28
The hunters were out early this morning but not earlier than me! Could hear them rumbling by. Wet bay with small heater measured 37 degrees this morning…tank heaters on and hopefully working. 25 degrees outside temp.
We also realized after the fact (last night) that this was probably Columbus Day weekend and that everyone would be out in their rv’s. We should have fixed our location one day earlier and less hunter/OHV oriented…oh well. My motto for the west is: “an rv in every driveway”…not exactly true but they have all those free lands to use…jealous.
Took a jeep ride to Louis Lake (about 14 miles round trip)…a fair amount of big rv’s (not class A) back in there.
Decided to leave for better campsite. We stopped at Farson Mercantile for ice cream and found GREAT/the best yet/free campsite at Big Sandy Recreation area. There was only one camper in this area and we found a spot away from that camper all to ourselves. Excellent views of the Wind River Mountains and reservoir (low, they are working on the dam). Mali can go out on her long line and she is finally in an area that she recognizes the small sage (etc) plants that house lizards. Now she believes that every bush has one and pounces on it hoping it will come out; but I have yet to see one.
We will stay here for a few nights here. We can receive texts and phone calls (Verizon) but cannot call out from campsite…a couple of miles away we can.
Nice calm night so campfire…to get rid of the firewood we got at Twelve Mile Beach! Probably have at least one more nights worth of fires.
