I dig this video and have been wanting to visit this spot for a long time. Wasn't sure if my rig would be able to make it, but doesn't look too bad. Thanks for putting the idea in my head!

How interesting to see a toad hopping around your campsite. Great wildlife sightings, beautiful area!

Definitely an odd sighting for the middle of the night away from any water sources. Strange!

Nice! That area looks like a beautiful place to spend a week or so. First segment must mean you have other places to explore, looking forward to see what else you come up with.

Yes, there are more episodes to come!Spending a week or two up there in a comfortable camper sounds ideal.

Great place. Last water crossing just before "river campsites" damaged my throttle control sensor. River was higher than normal in early June. Mosquitos were horrible, plus some micro gnats always in my face. Any bug issues for you?

Most definitely. We got bit up pretty bad. The ankle biters are the worst. I also had an issue with my temp control after going through the crossing, but resolved itself.
