Since then I've opted for the better-protected sites to the west whenever I'm in that area (the 5 Star at 2Z and also #593, as designated on PaddlePlanner.com).
did you mean 3Z and #583? The POD is very familiar to me as well. I was just napping there, before the pic was taken.
Jimmar,
Yeah, I DID mean "#583", not #593, wherever that is. That was a typo. However, "2Z" IS what I intended, across the lake on the south side.
2Z can handle large groups, has a great fireplace, and is well-protected with mature forest growth.
#583 is an island site, also offering good protection (since it sits so close the north shoreline) from W/NW winds. It has man-made "furniture", if you go for that sort of thing. My oldest son & I were serenaded there by what must have been a "flock" of whippoorwills in late May of 2014. Their song was incessant through the night.
We've passed by 3Z many times and it looks pretty nice but I've never camped there. That would have been about "ground zero" for the whippoorwill infestation that year, as the song would move from our island over towards that nearby site throughout the night.

The only thing today's POD is missing are the summertime "butterflies" (moths?) that seem to congregate on a pair of shoes when you set them out to dry. I wonder if it is the salt from sweat that attracts them?
Yellowbird, you must have had an easy day that day. No sweat; no butterflies!
