Notes:
- Bring firewood... not much there to use
- About a mile further up the road from campsite is a rec center with outhouses
- At the rec center (campsite, really) is a good place to start hiking
- Trail 76 (Bristol, blue blazes, 1.17 miles)
- 76 meets up with Trail 72 (Rim Trail)
- Rim Trail is a 24 mile loop... so walk a bit and then come back to 76
