The restaurant owners very graciously provide two rows of their parking lot for hikers - they are well marked.

The road to Dahlgren Backpacker Campground

Dahlgren Backpacker Campground - a five minute walk from the parking lot, if you just want to do some gear shakedown

Sidereal was here

Headed to Rocky Run shelter

Arriving at Rocky Run shelter blue blaze trail

Rocky Run shelter itself

The eponymous Rocky Run, with the spring just up ahead. Always running every time I've visited, even when the weather has been dry. A+ spring. Old shelter in the background, still usable

Camp setup - Eno doublenest hammock, rain fly, underquilt, Kammock Joey gear sling

All my weather gadgets said it wasn't going to rain - but you set up the tarp anyways. At 0530 I was awakened by the gentle pitter patter of rain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The View from the Hang

Incinerating a steak

That's a Lixada titanium folding wood stove, it's amazing, I never camp without it. You can use it like this (with a square Expedition Research Bushcraft Grill on top, fits perfectly), or you can leave the top and bottom off and jam it into your camp fire, it makes a great pot holder/stabilizer.

Morning glop - oatmeal, raisins, cranberries, chia seeds, ground flax seed, cinnamon. MSR Pocket Rocket stove and canister for fire, too lazy to build a fire in the morning
