Thank you. It's a very nice campsite. I really liked West and East Pike Lakes. I'm sure we'll get back to that area.

Here's the full-sized photo of our site on West Pike.

Thanks, Lightfoot, it looks good full size. It's a really nice looking campsite. I have not been on those lakes, but that makes me want to go there.
