Local people use this site for fishing, boat launching, swimming, and minor partying. Camping is limited to two nights however it doesn’t appear to be used for camping much. We parked at the east end close to the bridge to leave the best spots opened for people who wanted to fish. The west end seems to the party spot. The view of the Big Horn River and all of the little islands is really pretty. No amenities other than a vault toilet. Traffic over the bridge dies down at night but starts up again fairly early. 
We spent just one night here and didn’t wander around outside but we ended up with tiny bites on our arms and legs. We didn’t notice the bites until the next day when they got very itchy so we have no idea what bit us. Whatever it was got in through small gaps around our screen or even through the screens themselves and were so tiny that we didn’t even realize that we had been invaded. I had at least 50 bites on my arms, some in clusters of five to ten, that didn’t go completely away for about five days. Camp 45.6446, -107.65801
Someday I'll have a biologist explain to me how making its victims itch was an evolutionary for various bugs. Wouldn't it be more of an advantage if they could steal our blood without a trace, not making us want to eradicate them?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it makes no sense. Take a little bit of blood but don't make me itch and I'll be fine with it.
DeleteOops, that was supposed to say "evolutionary advantage."
DeleteI am not going to stay there! I'd be eaten alive (like you guys), and no thanks! Probably some kind of tiny biting gnat. Bleah!
ReplyDeleteI have second thoughts about staying there again! It was so pretty but....
