Stayed here all day to await Forest Gump, FastLane and Doodge behind me; they showed up mid-morning with my fleece shirt/thingy and since they were staying, I stayed another night.
Best way to give you an idea of Standing Bear Farm -a little bit of Hippy Hiker Heaven- is with these pictures:
1.) The place where everyone powers up!
2.) The campfire area: That’s Forest Gump on the left standing up with the orange shirt and beard / that’s Doodge center-right sitting down with the green shirt.
3.) The laundry: hand-scrubbing on a washboard! But they do have a drier. I did shorts, one shirt and socks only. . .
4.) The guy in the middle walking away in the blue shirt is FastLane. . . to his left, up those stone stairs is the resupply hut.
5.) Cool stone bridge over a river where they sell beer (very popular), and cook the grill meals for a reasonable price and opposite is the shower place which is quite unique– and good.
6.) The unremarkable plot of land where we had to pitch our tents if we didn’t book a bunk-room slot or private room, or the treehouse. My tent is there somewhere . . .
The other two pictures are of various buildings.
So, the day was beautiful weather-wise and I just relaxed, had good food, and carefully resupplied.
How ’bout that?
