We rode out on the equestrain parking lot. Beautiful trails. Word of caution. ATV's, bikes, dogs share the trails.

Very cool forest to explore that goes deep. Seriously, bring a map with you because it's easy to get lost here.

TYLERS RESELLING JOURNEY

I stayed here last night with a few friends for a birthday camping trip. Everything started out great—we were just trying to relax, have fun, and enjoy the outdoors. But sometime between 4:40 and 5:30 a.m., things took a terrifying turn. We suddenly heard what sounded like around 50 people singing in unison on their knees. This wasn’t normal singing—this was eerie, almost like something straight out of a horror movie. None of us had ever heard anything like it before. We sat completely silent for nearly 20 minutes, listening. When one of my friends stepped out of the tent to use the restroom, the singing instantly stopped, and whoever they were began flashing lights at our tent. We were absolutely horrified. With no cell service and no idea what was going on, we felt trapped. For about 10 minutes after, everything was completely silent. I decided to grab the friend I had brought and drive home immediately. Later, the three friends who stayed behind called me to say the singing had started again—this time even closer to their tent. This forest already has a dark history—multiple murders have happened here if you look it up—and after this experience, I can see why. Something was off. This wasn’t normal. It felt like we were being watched. To make matters worse, there’s supposedly security or someone who checks guests in. But when I arrived, no one stopped me or asked questions; I just drove straight to the site. That means anyone could come in at any time. It felt completely unsafe and unprotected

Spent the day at a campsite with family today. Pond felt refreshing. Lots of new rules here. Their strict. Bathrooms aren't clean like other campgrounds.
