Wolf Rock Trail







Liz came to visit me for a couple of days here in the Owens Creek Campground. We spent the day hiking up to Chimney and Wolf Rock and then visited the Catoctin Mountain Park Vistor Center.

Brown's Farm and Hog Rock Vista





Today, I hiked to the ruins of the old Brown's farm site in the Owens Creek area. It was only about half a mile. Then, I drove to the Hog Rock trailhead and made the hike to the Rock Rock vista. This hike was a bit uphill and about a mile in length.

Owens Creek Campground



I left for my campground host position at Owens Creek Campground on Thursday and arrived at the campground about 3PM. I had to call for a ranger to let me in because the campground didn't open until Friday.

There were a couple of campers waiting for the campground to open Friday morning. I had three campers on Friday night and 11 on Saturday night. The campground has 50 sites, so it was far from full which is to be expected. Plus, it has rained every day thus far.
