Last time we were here at Acorn was in December 2021, which was the last time camping with Meeks.
This time we picked a new site for us....
with a view of the bridge and lake that is now 80% capacity.
At this site, we were able to access the picnic table with no steep grade down.
After a relaxing lunch with the spectacular view of lake, we headed off to hike almost the entire trail system. We hiked the trails closer to the lake. The only sections not hiked were a portion of the Black Bear loop and the trail from Acorn campground up to the Entrance Station. Total miles were 6.15. Nobody else was using the trails, at least we didn't encounter anyone-- not even a mountain biker. We saw numerous deer that were alone. One was over by the dump station.
The winds started to pick up when we returned from our hike. That only lasted about an hour. As evening settled the temperatures dropped. We stayed warm inside the RV eating our veggie/mushroom ramen soups.
