This week's video I stayed close to home. I'm taking you to a forest that's 30 miles from my driveway. I haven't spent a lot of time camping in these woods. I've lived here my whole life, yet I've explored it very little. Something about this place is unsettling. It has its own energy.
Speaking of that, my Gopro batteries were getting sucked down superfast all weekend. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe there is something more to this forest.
This recreation land is better known for having top class mountain bike trails, and that has brought back life to this small town. It has gone through a complete transition since the 90's. I have ridden thousands of miles on those trails.....yet rarely go into the part of the forest you saw this weekend. Saturday morning, I stopped at a few businesses in town. I had to pick up some gear for the weekend. When I asked about dispersed camping up in the mines I was told " I wouldn't go out there". They pointed me to a State Forest that is known for having safe dispersed camping.
There may be a few people who don't like what I have pointed out near their homes or cabins in what they call "Gods County". But the struggles that are delt with in the big cities are also faced here. I'm not trying to capitalize on a hot topic or make light of the situation. I'm just sharing my weekends exactly how I experience them. I really appreciate you following along on my adventures.
