Colorado Camping, Dispersed Forest Campsites- Hayman Fire Restoration Area - Part One

Free dispersed campsites are located all throughout the Hayman Fire Restoration Area and adjacent to the Lost Creek Wilderness. This is not your quiet getaway camp, but rather, somewhat of a free for all in the national forest lands. People come out here to be loud, shoot guns, car camp and build big bonfires and camp in large groups. I've definitely heard a party or two going on through the night! I personally don't camp that way anymore, but this location is super accessible and easy to get to - not to mention, there have been times where I WAS able to catch a quiet camp with nothing more than a few cars passing by each hour. It is next to a wilderness land after all, so if you really want serenity, you can strap on a backpack and head into Goose Creek Trailhead for a 20+ mile wilderness loop with camping along the trail. In this camping trip, I wanted to break the season in with something easy, check my gear out and get into the woods. I love camping in my SUV for this reason, not much to it - just jump in and roll out. If you eat simple and travel simple, car camping can be really quick and enjoyable getaway. In part one, we set out from Denver in search of a decent campsite. With a late start, we don't have much to work with and take what we can get! Fortunately, this is an easy area to work with and lot's of options if you keep looking. In part two, we hang out at camp, build a bonfire, listen to people shooting guns and convert the SUV to a camper. In part three, we hike the neighboring peak to catch an epic early morning sunrise in the mountains. Beautiful orange and purple skies set the tone for the day.

Years ago, in my late 20’s, I realized I was on a destructive path. Most of my grown up life had been spent working extra hard for companies I was not interested in and partying extra hard to numb the pain of a meaningless existence. I was as destructive as possible towards myself out of sheer misery for what I understood as “life”. I began to dream of a different life...one without pain. A life worth living. This initially drove me to seek adventure, travel excessively and spend a lot of money. All of my money to be exact. Ending in bankruptcy and emotional disaster, I finally committed to change. As I battled back and forth between my old life and the dream of a new life, I began to face my addictions one by one, slowly removing their power over me in order to be truly free. It is in this journey of unwinding a lifetime of destructive thoughts, that I decided to start making videos about things that interested me. I have a desire to spread hope to others who are feeling as I did, wandering without purpose. I’m only just beginning, and I invite you to come along. In this way, I created Adventure Spirit One. To me, it symbolizes a spaceship that I can enter at any time and transport myself to another land. One where freedom exists, dreams are real and I’m the pilot. In Love & Peace, Jonathan
