About a year ago, I noticed this tent set up off trail in the Birkhead Wilderness. A few weeks later I saw it again and wondered who would be staying out in the woods for that length of time. In May I again ran into it and walked over to see that it appeared abandoned. Fast Forward to this weekend and it is still there. I unzipped it and peeked inside this time. It looks as if someone just got out of bed. The mattress was still inflated, sleeping bag in place and a stack of pillows at the head of the bed. There was also a bunch of Deer Park gallon water jugs with condensation droplets. No sign of anyone and no sign around the campsite that anyone was using it. No paths, no leaves beaten down, nothing on the clothesline and no fire remains. So, it is a mystery.
