Badger Lake(Mt Hood NF)

Camped at Badger Lake for the first time over my weekend. Having the middle of the week off is nice

Saw two other Tacomas, maybe people here? Only one fullsize, a Ford, braved the road. The only other vehicles was a little 2wd S10 that had a hell of a time getting to the lake and a Lexus LX450 with bumpers.



The only disappoint is the bro-trash that littered a neighboring site. We picked it up and cleaned up a lot of trash around our campsite as well. I'm as far from a tree hugger as you can get but leaving trash is stupid.

After we left today we went on a short trip to Camp Windy just to check it out. Views weren't so great as the Warmsprings Fire is really smoking the area out. That road was definitely more like a trail though.

I am surprised I'm still rocking the stock Dungflop AT20's. I kept expecting to be putting the spare on at any moment with how sharp some of the rocks were. Side walls are looking pretty ugly

 

How full was the lake? Might go up and do some fishing .

 

It seems like every time I head up to the woods I find myself wishing I had a trash bag. I finally thought to throw a roll of them in the glove box before hand.
