Dry Camping at Beauty Creek

This national forest campground in a valley in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest is a peaceful place. The slopes on either side are so sleep that they are near vertical. Only nineteen campsites and most of them occupied by tent campers. While we’ve had our solar panels out all day the Bitterrot Mountains to the east and the Cascade Mountains to the west have limited the amount of solar collection possible so we have augmented them with a boost from the Honda generator. As we wind down tonight it’s pleasant to see neighboring campfires. It feels quite unusual to be the biggest rig in the neighborhood!
