    Two more suggestions:

    1. Across Hwy 4 from Camp Connell there is a dirt road that goes all the way to Arnold/White Pines Lake. Fun bike ride down, anyway.

    2. At the very end of the road in Big Trees SP, there is a fire road that continues on, crosses the creek and climbs up the far side. There are lots of side trails and roads there for either biking or hiking. I like to hike a loop up that way and come back down through the South Grove. Even when the park is crowded I rarely see anyone.

    The river trail goes from the overlook parking, about half way between the park entrance and Oak Hollow campground down to the river- it’s beautiful and passes through lots of dogwoods if they’re in bloom. It’s mostly downhill, so the return can be a challenge. Here’s a link on All Trails:

    There’s a great fire road that continues on the North Grove side of the ridge from the trail that bigtreestechman described too, with a couple of spurs to the right that lead down to North Grove and the park HQ. If you’re bringing a dog, check restrictions: not allowed in North Grove, and must be leashed elsewhere.

    Would you tell me more about the river trail?

    There is a trail at the end of Cheyenne way that leads into the park. It comes out at the park road near the overlook where you can pick up the river trail. You cannot bike on any of the trails in the park, but there are lots of fire roads that you can bike on

    On our walk this morning we found a telephone line drooping across the road, low enough for a truck to hit it. My husband went up and tighten it up around a stump, so that is a temp fix.
    Who should I call?
    The address is 3450 Shoshone if someone knows who owns that cabin.

    I called Twinkle yesterday. They’re book through September! It’s good to stay busy.

    I suppose some of you will think this is a silly question. Last night on the camera there was a cat on the porch. Looked like a domestic gray striped cat, just huskier. At a different angle, it appears to have a dark strip down its back. Any thoughts?

    @dmdoug is correct regarding Snider’s snowflake signs.
    The chess piece signs are indicators for Greg Chess’ Chess Mountain Services customers.
