Medicine Bow

We made it as far as Medicine Bow National Forest, and camped at Surgarloaf Mountain campsite.  There were four campsites open on the mountain, but we were told that the first two were full, and the last two were closed...so we had to stay at either Surgarloaf campgrounds, or Brooklyn Lake campground.  Well, we looked at Brooklyn first, but it seemed very crowded, so we went to look at Surgarloaf.  It also was busy, so we went back down to see Brooklyn again.  Well, to make a long story short...or long day. We went back and forth about 5 times before we decided to stay at Surgarloaf campsite. Oh, and I forgot to mention that there was road construction going on between the two, so we ended up waiting for a pilot car every time...fun.  

Between visits or the two sites, we also went to the top of the mountain and got some great pics, and also stopped at a very nice picnic area near a lake.  Wow, so beautiful.  The top of the mountain was really incredible looking.  The natural trail we went on had a lake that you have to see to believe.

The only problem with this place was the temp.  Up on the mountain, and the wind blowing all night, it got super cold, and the fire was a pain in the butt to cook hot dogs on.  But all and all, what a great place!  The next morning when we left, we stopped at an area that had a really cool waterfall and bridge, just had to check it out.  

I also called and my parcel made it in, and it was waiting for me to pick up.
