Hiking Silas Lakes Trail

If you are following along on my road trip journey, you know that I changed campsites last night from Hugh Otte Camping Area to a more secluded area off of 302.  I’m now in a high meadow with a few other big rigs in sight, but not too close.  I am parked by Townsend Creek which runs through the willows.  I awoke to a foghorn type sound at 5:30am!

I could only liken it to a cow, but upon peering out VANgo’s window, I did not see any animals.  On the other hand, Annie was trembling with excitement as she stared outside.  Knowing she sees something and I don’t is sometimes disconcerting!  I guessed that maybe a moose was tucked in the willows, but by the time I returned in the afternoon, there was a herd of cows lining the Louis Lake Road, so perhaps I heard a “moo” after all!

HAPPY HIKING!
