Jul 1, 2010 S Platte Old campsite off the beaten path - I love stumbling upon these old sites as I always envision a group of S. Platte pioneers sitting around the camp fire, slugging beers and talking about the day and the day to come. Maybe this and other sites I've come across weren't even developed by climbers, but they always seem to show up near big rocks, so that's where my mind goes. Note the pile of cut logs waiting for the occupants to return. ● I swore I saw slugging bears when I read this View Comment*
