I was so enchanted by the campground at Green Bay and the campsite I had the good fortune to pitch my tent in, that I decided to extend my stay from just an overnight stop, to a couple of nights. (Does that sound familiar?) So here is the video I made of that campsite.
I had intended to insert a video here, but after struggling with it for a couple of days, I admit defeat and here are stills from the video I took of my camp.
Me at the office.
The red mug acts like as a coffee maker, the plunger and lid in foreground
Early morning light filters through the trees and dapples my tent.
Picnic tables come as standard in almost every North American campsite.
Laundry area
The waterproof bag not only keeps clothes dry, you can fill it with warm water and travel wash, jiggle it about, and it becomes a washing machine. Attaching it to one of the pannier frames and driving does the jiggling for you, so when you arrive at your destination the clothes are washed, Stretching them over the camping gear when stowed on the 'bike, under a net, then dries them nicely, provided it's not raining of course.
My lockable aluminium panniers, they make good seats too.
The kitchen.
Almost every campsite has a fire basket or fire pit. If it doesn't then the chances are you must not have an open fire. On attended sites you can buy wood from the Rangers Office.
Rucksack and water carrier.
Keeping things off the ground is a good idea in most forest places, the ants are inquisitive.
The rear of my tent has a separate storage area that zips shut.
Letting sun inside my motorcycle gear helps destroy smelly bacteria.
.......and just through the trees is a private sun terrace where eating meals is a joy.
All in all a perfect spot to unpack and relax. Sally's Cove is just up the road where I went for a few supplies.
