Weekend Trip to Aspen and Pine Camp on Middle Butte

Beautiful site in a scenic part of Wyoming. We enjoyed hearing the wild life while still having access to the road in case of emergency. The lot was pretty clean but did have some remnants of possibly old shelters or sheds of some kind. Having the bathroom was so great even just a pit toilet can change the whole camp experience. Overall it was a nice private area and we felt safe and comfortable.

1 night at The Nerd Farm

The land is very primitive, isolated, and quiet. We got to see the Milky Way at night. The host was friendly and was easy to get in touch with. He came down, greeted us, and made sure we were all set for the night. We chose a gravel spot and slept to the sounds of the river. There were a lot of mosquitos, just a fair warning. Also, There were no fire rings or designated areas to sleep, but there were lots of good spots along the way. We dug our own hole for a fire and made the most of this experience. Overall, very beautiful land to camp on if you’re willing to trek a little bit out of the way for it.
