Boy was it an adventure!
#1 It was a Night Hike. Due to misadventures, we only set of on our trail at 10pm. When the sun was just setting.
#2 Lamar Valley is freaking full of wildlife! Bears, Wolves, Elk, Bison, you name it.
#3 We got blocked by bison we could hardly see and it was scary as hell. More people die from bison attacks than bear or wolf attacks in the park!
#4 There was this creepy elk cry in the hills at 1 point. Like something just died. Followed by Wolves howling. Freaked the shit out of all of us.
#5 We took a wrong turn at the second fork cause we thought the campsite was at the other trail.
#6 So duh, we couldn't find out campsite and hiked more than we should have.
We ended up camping just off the trail a little in a small clearing we found.
Thank you Buddha for keeping me alive.
Yes Mr Bison, i will keep my promise of not eating beef or bison when i have the choice.
Ok, so what happened was:
Jillian and lettie went hiking in the morning. I didn't join them because i had a bad knee and headed to the clinic to get it check. Nothing much in the end. "Just a sprain", said the doctor.
So because they went hiking, Jillian wanted to rest before going on the camping trip and we set of at 7pm. It wasn't that bad since the sky stays bright till 10pm and the hike was only 3 miles in.
Unfortunately, We were caught in about 5 bear jams. FIVE! can u believe that? Talk about bear overload. And took a wrong road so we had to turn back. Nearing the Lamar Valley, we were again stopped by a wolf sighting. Creepy.... thinking that you will be camping around here and there are so many animal sightings. Grizzly, black bears, wolves....
So now, we started off on the trail. And smartly, went on the stock trail for horses. So of cause there wasn't a bridge for us to cross the river and we were stuck. Wandering around for 30 mins, we finally decided to drive down to look for another trail head shown on the map.
And so u have it. We started at 10pm on our 3 mile hike to the campsite. It was actually very scary cos we can hardly see in the dark. Otherwise i didn't think it was be that creepy.
That's my FIRST back country camping experience. Truly back country adventure i must say.
On a side note, the moon was round and bright. Beautiful as it nests between 2 mountains and shone into the valley.
Lamar Valley is a very beautiful place and one worth hiking again.
Through the looking glass.
