Non-Hiking Day 2: Camping near Mondeaux Esker Segment

Non-Hiking Day 2: Friday, August 23, 2013

Location: Eastwood Campground, Mondeaux Dam Recreational Area, Taylor County, WI
More about expenses: Added to the previous total of $1369.49: Two days Camping at Eastwood Federal Park: $24.00 (avoidable, but worth it).  Running total: $1393.49.
Today was a no-hiking, no biking late-night drive to the Eastwood Campground located on the east side of the Mondeaux Flowage, the target of our weekend.  It was too dark to do any hiking, so we set up camp, which cost $12 per night.  On the whole, this is/was the best-maintained campgrounds I have ever been to in my life.  Not a single piece of garbage could be seen anywhere, and our site was pristine and quiet.  The weather was warm, and we blew up the queen-size inflatable air mattress (heavenly!) and fell fast asleep.  Running total: 92.5 miles of trail covered; 7.6 miles ‘extra’ hiking/biking.  End of non-hiking day 2.
