I worked for the forest service back in the early eighties as a firefighter out of lake George Colorado so I love going back to my old stomping grounds every year

Campground was nice as usual. Always fisherman's traffic, but that's why I was there. The bathrooms were not cleaned the three days we were there, the flypaper was completely covered and there were tons of flies. Had to hold the door open to allow the squadrons of flies out before I could enter. Was the worst I've seen there.
