2013 - May 25 Fairview Camp and Hyner View

After shower, breakfast, and running down the road to get ice, the eight of us loaded into two cars and went for a guided tour. I was the guide! We headed up the mountain across the road from the park and made our way along the narrow dirt roads to the Fairview Camp. I have many memories of the camp from my days as a child spending time here with my grandfather. Also, many good times were had as an adult with my dad, my son, and other relatives.

After spending a few minutes at the camp, we kept going down the road and eventually came back to civilization on the other side of the mountain from where we started. I suggested that since it wasn't far to Hyner View, we should drive to the top for the view, so we did. The cool temperature (about 56) was made even cooler by the high wind, but everyone enjoyed the view.

We headed back to camp via Renovo where we stopped for some groceries and a bite to eat at Big Louie's sandwich and pizza shop. We got back to camp around 4:30 in time to watch one of the rangers chasing a bear away. We got a glimpse of the bear, but no pictures.

The rest of the evening was spent around the campfire. The bed will feel good tonight.
Oh! Last night's low temperature was 34 and it's supposed to get colder tonight. I'll let you know.
