Ward Lake Pond and the Creek Fire (Explored)
One of my adventures I was looking forward to this summer was coming to Ward Lake. I was really surprised to see that the Creek Fire from last year had attacked this area also. This location is over 50 miles away from where the Creek Fire started. Most of the campground area was Ok, but it did burn down our outhouse that was next to our camp site.
The fire seemed to have drawn a few bear into this area looking for food. All of their berries were burned up and I think food has been scarce for them this year. Its a little unnerving to have a bear creeping around your campsite looking for food in the middle of the night. We are careful with our food and we didn't have a any trouble other than losing some sleep. We were really sad to see so much of the forest burned up, but we did see a lot of sign where the forest is growing again. Keep on clicking!
