New Fork Lakes Group Campground, same as before near Pinedale, Wyoming

From Pinedale WY take US 191 west 6 miles

Bear right onto New Fork Lake Road. A fairly nice gravel road.
Go just over 4 miles.

I’ve got the dates noted. Fingers crossed for no more hound dog rattlesnake bites.

Dogs and rattle snakes in one of my great fears.
I always worry a little when I take Cheyenne and Dakota out in remote areas.
Glad to hear that it turned out as well as it could.

Hope to see you and your kids in August

She’s been on the rattlesnake vaccine since I got her. She was bitten near her eye and inside her mouth, and had an open wound from her eye to her throat for about 8 weeks.

Fortunately I saw it happen and got her to the emergency vet about 35 miles away within 45 minutes. It turns out facial bites are the most survivable for dogs. She still took 3 vials of antivenin to pull through.

She’s got an epic battle scar. This pic was 12 weeks afterwards. There are a few more in my album.

So sorry for your friend's snake bite.

Because I hike a lot in the desert, I took my dog to snake bite avoidance training. It was a 2 hour training held in a local park in Boise. The cost was minimal. When we started the training my dog was extremely curious of the snakes (no rattle snakes were used). Two hours later he knew snakes were very dangerous and he needed to stay far away. Years later, he alerts to anything snake.

I feel safer for my own protection having my dog with me in snake country because I can't smell a snake at all but he can smell even a shed skin from 20 feet away. And he lets me know.

Looks like Wife and I will be there this year. Looking forward to meeting others. Dan


Do we need to make a reservation at the Campground? Any other details I need to know?

Dan, no reservations required. I have taken care of that. Cost will be divided by number of trailers.
No water in campground.
Really clean pit toilets.
We have a large campfire every night.
Potluck Saturday at 6 PM.
Nearest supplies and showers are in Pinedale (about a 30-minute drive).
Last few years we had rain at least once during the campout.
If you have any other questions, just reach out.

I think you answered all of my questions. Thanks

We have a training class scheduled for this coming weekend. Fingers crossed it reinforces the need to avoid snakes!

Looking forwards to seeing you in 5 weeks

 

[Sparksalot]

We have been touring central and northern New Mexico for a week. Tent camping this time. The hound saw prairie dogs for the first time and had to explore.

No critters were harmed.

 

[Wolfgang92025]

Won't be long now.
See you in camp
