Photo Essay: Maple Grove Campground in full color

Monday, October 6

For our walk this morning, Bridget and I hop into the Perfect Tow Vehicle, leave our campsite located beside Ivie Creek, and motor up to Maple Grove Campground at the end of the road.

I let Bridget explore off-leash as we walk the campground loop.

A hush has fallen.  Usually squirrels announce our presence.  Not today.  Maybe, like me, they are awed by the transformation of the woods.

1-P1000864-001Each site seems to be nestled in a warm embrace.

1-P1000862My thoughts turn to a practical matter. 

I have a few, empty, one-gallon drinking jugs in the PTV.  I intend to fill them at a campground spigot before we return to camp.

I try one of the spigots (below).  Hmm . . . No water.  Turned off for the season.

1-P1000860Bridget is having a great time! 

We come to the fence that marks the campground boundary.

1-P1000866Bridget scoots under the fence. 

I notice a trail going further into the woods beyond the campground.

“We should come up here again and walk that trail, Bridge.”

1-P1000869“Come here and sit down for a minute.  I want to take your picture next to the pretty leaves.”

Grudgingly she complies. 

1-P1000870Too bad dogs can’t say, “cheese!”  It would help that sour face . . . . oh, well . . . .

1-P1000871Gosh, can you believe this place?  Everywhere is a picture!

Bridget finds another route for us to explore on our way back to the parking lot.

1-P1000877“I’m coming, girl.  I have to take another picture.”

Off she goes . . .

1-P1000879I suppose someday I’ll be following two canine backsides through the woods again . . .

1-P1000881Thank you, dear reader!

Thank you for joining Bridget and me on this walk through Maple Grove Campground located off Route 50, northwest of Salina, Utah.  It’s been fun showing you how pretty it is here.

Thanks also for the many get well wishes.  I feel much better!
