Go if

Anglers chasing Arctic Grayling and Brook Trout, or hikers aiming for the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness via Trail 372, who can handle a bumpy dirt road in and don't mind vault toilets and packing out trash for $15 a night.

Skip if

Summer visits with thin-skinned bugs-hate-me campers: multiple reviewers call the mosquitoes massive and relentless during warmer months. No showers, no hookups, no cell service, and no reservations mean it may not suit those who need to plan far ahead.

The festivities began with a bar-b-cue set up in front of an abandoned gas station at the intersection of State Routes 278 and 43. Hay bales were used as both table and chairs with families gathered around steaming plates of corn, beans, and hamburgers. The main topic being discussed: whether or not another cutting of hay could be done this year.
