Path to the Tent Site

My tent site is tucked in the woods about 30 yards from where I park my truck. I followed an existing game trail from the parking area down to the tent site, and I used a wheel barrow to haul stuff in. The single wheel of the wheel barrow carrying 100+ lbs loads, together with rainy weather, turned the game trail into a muddy mess by the time I was done moving my stuff!

To make the trail more pleasant, I brought in five bags of pine bark mulch, which helped to build up the muddier areas. Then I covered the entire trail with pine needles from nearby trees. As a final touch, I placed a tiki torches every six or eight yards along the path. Sure is nice to be out of that mud!
