I grew up in Arlington and got to camp in the GWNF about 30 years ago. I loved the isolation. I feel the same way you do about trying to get away from it all and then ending up packed in with so many other people the place looks like a refugee camp. I never told anyone how cool it was, though - why start a stampede? :sombrero:
Great shots and a great trip, and count me as another dog lover, too. Looked like he had as much fun as anyone - maybe even more!
The snow pics look nice, too. :ylsmoke:
