Just to confirm,
We were at little badger last year. You're saying stay on the main gravel about a mile or so past the little badger campground then left onto a two track road on the left.
Hoping to see you dogs around 5:00.
Guitar, Mandolin, & whiskey. Am I forgetting anything?
Oh yes, coffee.

Yes Mike. There will be a "major" paved junction to the right (don't take that!) and as I recall the 2 track to camp is about a mile past that on the left ... pretty much on top. There used to be a FS road # sign ... who knows if that's still there ... but it's one of the better defined lefts that looks like it actually leads to something. Ham will have it signed ... and it's pretty straightforward to find. See ya!

Mike I think you might be confusing where we were last year (Little Badger) with the campground that's at the bottom of the canyon. Bonnie Crossing. We'll be on the other side of the canyon after crossing the creek. Unless I'm the one confused?

Sounds like you're the one confused. We'll be at the top of the hill where you, Bob and I camped three years ago, which is past Little Badger (the snow slide run from what I've heard). You come in from the Tygh Valley side ... and go right at the old tavern in Tygh Valley. You may be thinking of where you, Bob, Sluggo (and I showed up for the last night) camped 2 years ago. I hope that's where Bob's headed ... it's where I'm headed ... and the directions he posted were mine. "Hope" to see you there! :geek:

Whizbang! That was a great one. Incredibly difficult to leave this morning! But a very blue smooth drive home.

I could've stayed another couple nights. About the best weather you could have this time of year.

Was just going to say what a great weather weekend. The wood stove has been cold here for the first time in a long spell. Wish I could have made it, but family, a birthday Friday and of course Easter Dinner today.

Glad it was a good weekend for you. What a blast.

Oh god! Feeling the same here, DJ. That looked like a beauty. Never been to Badger Crick - one of these years I tell you.
