No 5 Camp by

This is a photo in response to ECGardners Challenge.
I used to do a lot of horse riding in the ranges around Rubicon and surrounding area. This camp site is Number 5. This was my first 2 day ride and I was so excited. As you can see we had a big tarp attached to the open shed, in the middle is a camp fire and around the outside are hay bales. We didn’t sleep in tents but around the fire on the bales or the ground which had the old rubber army ponchos laid out. The food was fantastic and some drinking took place to numb some people anatomy. I met my husband on this ride.
There are yards that the horses are kept in, and a great thunder box that was built for giants. There was a large rock so you could put your feet on. It’s not easy to sit on a toilet when your feet can’t touch the ground. A stubby top was nailed to the door incase the toilet paper ran out.

i have such fond memories of the place and of all the photos I have this has to bee my favourite.

    Lovely photo Dharna….great comp and tones……love the narration too….it seeps fond memories and has an aura of happiness about it. I smiled as I read your description…..feels warm!

  • I’m glad I could add a smile to your face Simon. I was smiling too as I was typing. We often reminisce of the times spent here. Unfortunately this place is no longer. They are logging the area and a main logging road is through here. The only thing standing is the outhouse.
