Here we go again. After a seven mile drive down a dirt road we found a very nice campground at the trail head. I say very nice except for one thing, the restrooms. After once opening the door, no one wanted to be within 100 yards of the place. The smell was incredible, and not in a good way! After a short walk up the dirt road to the beginning of the trail head our group of 13 hikers began a very nice 5.4 mile hike, at least for me. One of the hikers, who shall remain nameless had scheduled an important phone call and needed to return in time to make the call. I accompanied this hiker, who is one of my best friends, back to the campground where we began looking for a signal. The rest of the group went a bit longer along the trail which was next to Big Lost Creek. This creek was flowing with absolutely crystal clear water which was a nice departure from the somewhat turgid water of most of the streams we explore. The trail was easy and very enjoyable with great views of the creek all along the way. Everyone had a good time even though we did get a little strung out. We crossed Little Lost Creek with ease and shortely thereafter turned around.
