Hike Info : Description
Trail head: Sunset Campground, Grant Grove
Type: Camping
We are going camping for the next five night at Sunset Campground in Grant Grove. But first we must get packed. I have a lot of stuff in the car already, but according to my list, there is more to go in. Fortunately, I do not need to be concerned about every cubic inch.
So watch our church service on
YouTube,
then finish packing. We decided we might as well have dinner at lunch
time. So by the time we leave it is around 2:20pm. The trip up is
uneventful, one which we do almost once a month or more often.
Campsite 46
We get up to Sunset around 3:40pm and find our campsite #46. But what we see, we do not like. Why you might ask? The campsite is clean, the bear box looks good. But there is a pretty wicked slope with no flat place to pitch a tent. We found one place between the table and driveway, just behind the bear box. We will see how we sleep tonight.
It is either a bit late or we just do not feel like moving, so we do not go for a hike this evening. We have our lunch and sit around, enjoying life outside.
There is a reason why Sunset Campground is named for it. There can be some pretty spectacular sunsets. Tonight was no exception. Those campsites right on the edge have a spectacular view, but they get the rest of us meandering over to enjoy the view. The campers are pretty good natured about the invasion. We gawk at the sunset for about 30 minutes before migrating back to our own campsite and our sleeping bags.
