Glacier NP Trip - Labor Day Weekend
We "cheated" this time and brought the RV and FLYFISHEXPERT brought up his Rav4.
We stayed at Murray Bay CG along the Hungry Horse Reservoir. It was a beautiful site on the waters edge...I think we had the best site in the CG.
Thanks to KCOWYO for the tip on the CG:clapsmile

our camp setup depends on our mood and destination. If the trail is unsuitable for our aliner we will plan to make camp with the sportz tent attached to the back of the TACO. Both have their advantages, though we are partial to planning a trip on fire, logging, or forestry service roads so we can bring the aliner.
Here we are up at Northfork campground near Randal Washington with the sportz tent 8300:
and here we are at Yellowbottom Camp in the Qurtzville Creek area in Oregon:
and our "backyard":
Both sites have no drinking water or hookups...so bring it all with you if you visit!
Happy Trails.

This is the White River campground at the NE entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park.
One of my favorite places in the state of Washington.
There are a lot of very nice pictures in this thread, I like it.
Good way to get ideas from others too to see what gear they have.

Simple and easy. This is as far away from everyone as I can get within a 30 minute drive. All I need is some food, water and a hammock. I always have those stocked in the pelican case in the jeep, so camping is pretty easy.

These two pics actually came from a surfing book that was being made while we were camped there. The surf mag had brought half a dozen pro surfers, to get some material for this new book on "secret spots".
Our campsite is the closest one in the foreground with the pop top VW van, the white sedan and blue tarp. This was taken back in '83 when the spot was virtually unknown and had recieved no publicity before these shots were published. A film crew went there in '81 but got into a fight with some of the other surfers there over the possible exposure and were literally forced to leave....the story went that they even had some camera gear smashed in the confrontation. So when these boys arrived they were extremely cautious about who they approached. We thought it was hilarious........after a couple of weeks we were best mates but anyway the pics speak for themselves.
I was working on a lobster boat on that coastline at the time and many of the boat crews knew about this spot. The other guys camping there shown in this pic had also called in on their way home at the end of the lobster season. Red Bluff. Very magical. Unbelievable fishing and that small stretch of sand in the corner is the only spot for hundreds of miles north or south were turtles can come in safely to lay their eggs.
The first trip there was for 2 weeks and we had it to ourselves with 6' waves.....only saw one other guy who was there fishing in the whole 2 weeks. A friend just went back a few months ago and told me that there are cabins all over the hill now and they charge you ridiculous fees to even sleep in your car.
That's progress I guess but it was such a fragile place to begin with. I sure hope it's well managed.
If you're interested it's about 70 miles North of Carnarvon on the West Australian Coast at the top of Quobba Station. The waves in the first pic are about 6' and 10' in the second but it holds to about 15'.
