It had many trees, making the brigade tarpe and some other things easy to set up. Our stay at this campsite did have a very rare occurrence, there was a storm near and our group were in our lightning safe position, squatting on our P.F.D's, and spread among the trees, when lightning struck a tree 120 feet away from the nearest person. The strike sent ground currents through the ground entering our bodies, 1 went unconscious for under a minute, and 4 out of the 8 had burns on our feet and buttox , from the point the lightning entered our body. About an hour later when it was safe to walk around we made contact to our camp with a satalite phone but because it was around 9:00 pm, we could not be evacuated until the next morning. we ate dinner discussing what had just happened and later that night tried to sleep. The next morning we got up at 5:00 am, to pack all of our stuff and prepare for the float plane, from Ely, that was coming to evacuate us. The plane got to the campsite around 5:30 am, with EMT's to take our vitals and look at our burns. We were flown to Ely and transported by ambulance to the hospital everyone was admitted to the hospital but only the 2 people with the worst injuries had to spend the night, but were discharged the next morning. So overall the campsite is really good except for 1 unfortunate event :)

Great location, nice view, good kitchen area, nice and open. This site just needs another good tent pad or two.
