Hi Mountain Campground

Camping at Hi Mountain Campground.

Photographed July 1966.

In July, 1996, Cheryl and I went camping with Larry and Karol at the Hi Mountain Campground. Being July, we planned to sleep out because it never rains in July. Well, it rained. The best shelter we could arrange was to pull a sheet of plywood out of the bed of Larry's truck. That sheltered our heads, but the rest of us was sticking out in the rain. Also the rain brought the bugs out. So we got bitten a lot. Regardless, we did not give up, and stayed the entire night.
