There was only one other person in our section of the Ironhorse campground Sunday night.
The blue tarp on the picnic table (right side of road) is the site of the other camper. He was out motoring his boat on the lake for the day. I have enjoyed winter camping in the Foothills since few folks venture out to camp this time of year. Even the activity on the lake was quiet compared to our other visits.
After setting up camp and eating lunch, we headed for a hike to check out the Buck Brush Loop trail.
We passed some cattle that were too busy eating to be bothered by us. A couple of mountain bikers passed us. Overall, we had the trails to ourself. Total hike was around 6-7 miles roundtrip from our campsite.
Back at the campsite, we relaxed while watching fishermen returning from their day's adventures. Once the evening got too cold to sit outside, we headed into the RV to enjoy the sunset from our dinette.
Relaxing before dinner, my husband surfed on the Internet while I nestled under a quilt reading the Sunday newspaper. It's wonderful having the RV to shelter in while camping. Mr. Buddy, the heater, worked well in warming up the RV quickly so that we were able to stay warm the rest of the night.
After a extremely peaceful night's rest, we awoke to a quiet campground with even fewer boaters on the lake than on Sunday.
Again, we totally enjoyed camping and hiking in this region of the lake.
On next visit here, we will have to explore the Angels Creek Trail area.
