Monday, February 15, 2010 – Travel Day to Cane Camp, LA

Managed to struggle our way out of Brushy Creek, though by now the vehicles are covered with mud with all the potholes splashing and a few soft spots my wheels started spinning in. Scary! Glad to get out of there, crossing that one off the list!
Had a peaceful drive to Cane Camp, though I had several different sets of directions that didn’t seem to correlate with each other. Fortunately we ran into a large horse trailer at a stop sign, and I yelled out the window, “Which way to the horse camp”, and he pointed up a road that I hadn’t planned on turning on, so more confusion reigned. I turned where he said, then traveled for miles, sure we were going to far. I finally stopped and pulled out my computer and looked at a map I had downloaded before, found where we were and confirmed we were headed in the right direction. At last we reached it. What a lovely place! A nice loop, numerous campsites, every one has a water spigot and posts for a highline or a picket line, flush toilets, a nice grassy area all around, even a clear shot for a satellite signal, and best of all, no one else was here! All for 3 bucks a day, or in our case, with Hubby’s Golden Age Passport, $1.50! Quite a few horse and multi-use trails around, it seems, over 600,000 acres in the Kisatchie National Forest. I think we’ll be staying here for quite a while! Will get a picture of our new back yard tomorrow!
