The wife and I, having only been to the white mountains once, decided to do a last minute exploratory trip up to the white mountains to find some nice camping locations and fishing holes. We ended up leaving on Saturday, a little later than I wanted at 8:30a, but made it to the horseshoe lake campground in a little over 4.5 hours. The campground was pretty much deserted, and we almost had the whole campground to ourselves. The nearest neighbor was probably a good 400-500 yards away, maybe more.
This was our camp and this is the reason we got a small camper. There's no way a bigger popup could fit between the trees. As it was, I had to make multiple point turns to get the trailer into the best spot.
Here's another shot from the other side.
This trip was full of animals, starting with the dead skunk on the road that I had to straddle, but ended up getting some of the stench on the truck anyway. No pictures of that, but I spotted a deer way off in the distance. If you look close, you'll see a fawn about 4 feet to the left of the doe.
Then, on the way back to camp, we see a bear crossing the road ahead of us. As soon as he saw us he got out of dodge.
Finally, on the dirt road to the campground, a bull elk was chasing a couple cows (female elk). It was pretty dark by this time, so the picture is pretty grainy.
Back at camp, I went out to take some more pictures:
The next morning (today), we packed up and headed home.
Here's a link to the rest of the pictures and bigger versions.
