Lets see now yesterday the Cow Moose and her Calf came back to the campground and the calf sure is growing too. Here are a few pictures of her and the calf in the camp. The picture below is of the bathroom and dumpster near my trailer .

 This one is using my zoom . The next two are of a camper that I think is too close but what do I know? Her calf is across the road laying down where mommy told her to stay . Then after awhile she called for the calf and it came over to her and then she made her way up through the campground to the woods out of the campground .

The other Cow Moose with the two calf's have not been seen for a few days so hope that they are all okay .
Yesterday I was told that the campground here would close on Sept. 30th or as long as the weather will let us be open . Spring Hill campground will close on Sept 14th . As of Monday Sept 2 I will be taking care of this campground and Lodgepole campground too until closing day . Sept 12th C loop will be closed for the season . The gate will be closed and B loop gate too will close for the season at that time too.  Also Cable campground will close on Sept. 2 . The season is coming to and end so come on out before it is to late . It gets a little cool at night but get up in the 70's in the day time . Philipsburg Bay Campground will close on Sept. 30 as long as the weather permits us to be open that long .

I was on my way back to the trailer yesterday afternoon as I was crossing the dam on Georgetown Lake . It is a big Badger .

 Will hello everyone . This is the sunrise yesterday morning . Just awesome .

 This view is the canyon on the way down to Philipsburg , Mt. Great isn't it .

And look what I found a cave . Haven't been in it yet but one of these days I will see what it is like in it .
Well that's about all for this time . The weather is nice and the evenings are cool and then the days warm up to the 70's so come on lets go camping before it is to late.

This is the sunrise trying to show up though the smoke but it is still beautiful on this fine day at the campground . I have been told that the smoke is from the Idaho fire . The Moose lake fire is now 80% out. So that is good . It's a beautiful day here at 47 degrees out and should get up to about 70 today . So come on out . . . there is still a lot of time and good weather too . The wild life is fun to see too. We have two cows moose with their little ones to see once in awhile . Yesterday  I saw an Elk nearby also . Have not seen any bears yet .
We have about 21 campers in the campground this morning out of 68 sites so plenty of room for you to come out for some fun on the lake or just in the campground.
See ya soon now and be safe okay ,
your friendly host Red

Hi everyone ,
Will the weekend has went well here . Had another full campground this weekend and was sending campers to the other campgrounds in the area . The two mother Moose's with there babies where in and out of the campground all weekend . It sure was nice to see them and watch them play in the lake too . One cow has a single baby and the other cow has twins.  They sure are a big animal . Will not much else to report so you all have a great day and a safe one . Lets get out and do some camping now cause before you know it summer will be over so come on lets go and see what you can find and see.

 Well let's see if I can remember what is what here now that I have them all on here . The first two are of the sunrise yesterday morning . The sun was so bright and orange it was just awesome to see .

 This one is just a view of the sky and lake that I thought was pretty .

 This one is yesterday morning as the cow Moose and her new baby calf were feeding on the grass in the campground near site B39 . The next three pictures .

 The next two are of the Moose last night just before dark feeding in the same place as the morning but the Moose and her calf were in the campground all day going from loop to loop just doing their thing and not bothering  anyone at all . . . just as long as we stay away from them and let them have their space . We did save one dog that got loose from his owner and wanted to check out the baby moose.   Before the cow took over we where able to get the dog to safety . I took the dog to my campsite and tied it up until the owner showed up to pick him up .

It was a beautiful day here in the campground and should be for a few more days so come on out and let's see what we can see in the campground while we can before the snow flies . See ya around the bend here in the campground.

Doesn't that just sound like a beautiful summer morning at dawn at Philipsburg Bay Campground boat launch overlooking the calm peaceful water??
