Camping at Big Johns Flat

When the Carter boys were young we spent one-to-two weeks camping as a family at Big Johns Flat. For awhile we haven't been going but a few years ago we started and have kept it up. Here are some pictures of the trip. It was fun. Randy, Brent, Luke, Me(Travis), and Matt were all up there including our father, Neal. Also my dad's brother "Uncle John" his wife Vicki and several of there kids (our cousins) came up. We drove to the top of the mountain which is over 13000 ft. We hiked a portion of the Bullion canyon and we drove to Mandy's, Luke's wife, "Special Spot". We also visited the "Ice Caves" where the settlers use to come and cut ice blocks out to use in the valley to keep there stuff cool. We now have our own camp trailer. Its pretty basic but keeps us dry and clean, (versus a tent). I put a big scratch down the side of the truck when we were headed back from the Ice Caves. Gavin and his cousins had a blast at a pond near our camp. They caught frogs, salamanders and polywogs. Then they went for a swim in the nasty water.
