That is a fantastic camp spot. Hope you had a great time, really looks great.Pulled the camper and kids to Sadlers Creek State Park with the 60. Truck was slow but steady, right lane only. But still able to pull at (corrected) 60mph, except for the hills on 85.
We had a good time and stayed surprisingly dry given the hurricane moving through.

Beautiful CutthroatHojack - I sat on the edge of the lake as the sun went down watching trout cruise the shore line. Mostly tailing like bones or redfish as they buried their heads into the weed banks. Rooting for scuds and nymphs? Never saw one take anything from the surface, but when the sun dipped, it got cold quick. There are some very large fish in there.... But I had better luck on the San Miguel near Telluride/Placerville and the South Fork of the Gunnison north of Lake City. The kids camping next to me saw my waders drying off my roof rack and mentioned that a guy a couple days earlier had pulled a 24” Brown out of the Lake.
From the San Miguel:

THAT'S how you raise kids! Great job Dad!My best Eric and family from Pennsylvania came out west this summer to tour the western US. He left in 2005 after enjoying years in Oregon after college. I had not seen him in 15 years. We decided to reunite at my Crater Lake Property back in July.
While waiting to reunite I took my kids exploring in the backcountry in the 60.

It became the perfect opportunity for my kids to drive the 60. Headed west toward Mt. Scott in Crater Lake National Park.

Camp setup at my property. Looking forward to many more trips and meeting IH8MUD members here.
Now all you need is a set of privacy curtains like those made by Mrs. @NMC_EXP.Keep it simple.... But also great for two. Queen sizes bad back there

First of a couple of reposts for the benefit of the new owner of my '84 FJ60 @mcguirejohnson.Another Utah trip. Reached back 15 years for this. My youngest son and I headed to Utah and the first destination was Fiddler Cove Canyon, a side tributary to the Dirty Devil River. Desolate but beautiful country out here. Followed the Poison Spring Canyon drainage to a ford across the Dirty Devil, then up Hatch Canyon to this campsite with a panoramic view. Location is below Buckacre Point on The Big Ridge, looking SW towards Cedar Point (no, not the Ohio amusement park) on the other side of the Dirty Devil. The canyon is over 2,200 feet deep at Cedar Point.

Three years earlier my wife, youngest son, and one of his friends had been further up Hatch Canyon, eventually crossing over Sunset Pass below Gunsight Butte on the way into the Maze District of Canyonlands NP. One of the highlights of the trip was the hike down into the South Fork Horse Canyon drainage to view The Harvest Scene pictograph panel. The photo shows just a short section of the pictograph panel. BTW, the Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo on the rack is for getting back to civilization (almost nonexistent in this part of Utah) in case of a breakdown. From the Maze District to pavement is well over 40 miles.
