This was another one of those days. We were away from the MP for over 7 hours and put a little over 100 miles on the Forrester. This is a big park with a lot of miles between attractions. Our goal today was a group of 10 charcoal kilns, built in 1880s. Apparently, charcoal burns hotter than wood and some part of the mining industry here needed charcoal. The kilns are at 6000 feet because there are Pinion pines up there and you need wood to make charcoal. Like most things around here the kilns were only used for 3 years before charcoal was no longer needed. The drive up to 6000 feet was really cool, in fact it was so cool, there was maybe 2 feet of snow up there. After we explored the kilns we tried to do a hike but the deep snow turned us back. This morning we had to dump the holding tanks and fill up the freshwater tank. A pretty simple process because there is nothing to disconnect. I will put todays pics on this post tomorrow.
So dave your campsite has hook ups? You said nothing to disconnect! 32 here this am, warming up from 20s. Are there other campers by your site.
ReplyDeleteNo hookups at all in the campsite. We had to bring in tge slides, raise the jacks and drive to to dump station to empty the wastewater and fill up the fresh water. It took us 20 minutes.
