Belter Campsite July 4th Weekend
Funny story... this past July 4, was out for a few days, arrived at Belter on July 2... Cars zooming all day long at Limerock, I kept hearing them as I was hiking the AT heading southbound. Not all of the time, but at some of the overlooks and the like as the noise traveled around the valleys.
Arrived at Belters later afternoon, set up camp, tried to take a nap, all you hear was the whine of the cars... It was quiet for a bit, Whew they were done... About an hour later it starts up again! Ugh...
All through dinner, noise noise noise...Finally about 8pm they get quiet, Whew they are done... Within an hour blaring party music! CRAP! For a few hours just as I would drift off to sleep,I would awaken from the music and noise. At some point... BAM!!!! something exploded, Ah double CRAP! Fireworks! for at least a half an hour the explosions seemed that they were right outside the tent. You could not seem them, but you can hear them and in sometimes felt them.
Finally, FINALLY at midnight or so, Ahhhhh the sweet enjoyment of sleep is mine...
WRONG!!!! About a dozen kids from some program start walking through the site to set up camp. And of course what happens, 'Hey look a tent!' someone exclaims, and all dozen head lamps start swirling around the tent like a freakin' disco....
UGH!!!!
Sadly to say 6am came around much to quick.
Thought you may enjoy...
