SLAGGER CAMP and GHOST TOWN
LATITUDE: N 41°21.642
LONGITUDE: W 121°47.336
Accuracy: 105'
(GPS reading from the main firering)
NOTE: We can't be positive this is actually
Slagger Camp. There were signs pointing
this direction, but no markings at the camp.
Did a search and this seems to be the only
camp in the area.

Slagger Camp is like an old Ghost Town
There are three abondoned buildings.
Your imagination explodes... there is
a look and feel about this place.


Not sure of dates or historical background.
Maybe the buildings are around 100 years???
There is evidence of more recent use, including
a flush toilet???

Near the water pump is another prmitive camp.
We parked the car under the water and washed
off all the dust, when a couple old ladies pulled
up and started taking a shower... no insult to the
ladies, but we didn't need to see that.

We saw a dead brown bear on the Hwy.89.
The bears are shy of humans and will usually
run away, but don't take any chances.

WILDLIFE:
Deer are everywhere... about every half hour
another group would walk through our camp,
They would approach to within 20'

Wasp
Didn't want to kill this (wasp)... he refused to mind
his own business.

The insects were out in force.
Bees, wasps, and flies are the main cast of charaters.
There are a couple butterfies making the rounds.
