Jackson Meadows Reservoir Campout May 2014

Opening day for camping at East Meadows Campground at Jackson Meadows, 5/23/14.  When I booked it six months ago, I didn’t realize it was Memorial Day weekend.  The shoreline got a little crowded but all good people.  Lots of families, lots of kids and dogs.  Amazing how many dogs were off leash.  It didn’t bother me but it did seem the new camp host didn’t really have it under control.  But no mishaps.  I caught two nice size trout, which Kate really appreciated.  Both real fighters too.  Water was out again, so the bathroom situation was porta pottys and the faucets were dry.  Lake was down as you can see from the pics but Pass Creek was running quite strong.  Amazing how much snow was still on the mountains.  Weather was in the 70’s.
