I think the whole Camas drainage is great. Nice forest scenery, great lakes, what more could you want?

Though he didn't see any large wildlife, I think his Spidy-sense was telling him that there were large, toothsome creatures lurking behind every shrub, watching him ...Fairbanks142 wrote:Any specifics on why he thought it was creepy?
