Halloween camping at Iron Mountain, Degray Lake

 It was perfect autumn weather for camping at Iron Mountain, Degray Lake.

Our campsite was right next to the bath house.

This is our kitchen with Coleman stove, and dining area.

Destiny's bed.

My bed, electric cooler, laptop and projector for movies, and my CPAP machine.

We have electricity at this site, but sometimes we camp off-grid, so we use a big battery to provide all our power. Right now it can last about five days. But, starting next spring, we will be camping a week at a time, and I will need to get some solar panels to recharge the battery.

We put up the movie screen to watch movies.

All our suitcases and extra gear is stored in the corner, at the foot of my bed.

I turn on the heater on cold mornings.

Arlie Moore trail and geocache.

We went camping again, this time to Arlie Moore, another Army Corps of Engineer site at Degray Lake.

They have a wonderful hiking trail. While on the trail, we spotted this old pickup truck on the ridge, and had to investigate.

Inside the truck, we found a geocache.

A coral mushroom.

The water was too cold for me.

We were able to park next to our campsite.

Labor Day camping trip.

Labor Day in the United States is always the 1st Monday in September, and is often seen and used by most Americans as the last weekend of summer before children return to school. Families will go to the beach or lake.
