My holiday continues.
I checked out Lodging under Plan Your Trip. Lodging accommodations located on or near America's public land recreation areas vary from rustic cabins and yurts to bed and breakfast inns and 5-star hotels. I am a 5 star person but yurts sounded interesting. That is, until I read what the Limber Flag Yurt had to offer. The less than 20 foot diameter was okay but the limited amenities were not encouraging.
There is no indoor plumbing/running water and no power at this site. The amenities provided include a heavy-duty propane camp stove for cooking, a wood burning stove for heat, an outdoor vault toilet, a folding table, and folding chairs. Where do you shower?
I think some civilisation is called for and opted for a tour of the Washington Monument instead. The monument is shaped like an Egyptian obelisk, 555 feet and 5 and 1/8 inches high. I can reserve a half hour tour for $1.50 but if there are high winds the tour is off and I lose my reservation fee.
What I learned that was special:
• When hunting wear proper hunting gear, such as: orange vests and caps so that you are not mistaken for wildlife by another hunter.
