We're back at Elk Creek Reservoir near Elk River where Earl plans on taking the Sea Eagle boat out for the first time since he got it about half a month ago. It's not too bad here, temperature-wise, so we're dry camping along the shores of the reservoir like we did before. If it gets too hot, we'll move to the Forest Service campground nearby that has electrical hookups.



Instead of going north on the Elk River Back Country Byway like we did previously, we drove west on US-12 to its junction with SR-3 where we headed northeast through Deary and Bovill. It's a longer drive, but it's all paved unlike most of the Byway.
