This past Friday/Saturday on kind of a spur of the moment trip I head off to Shell Reservoir and Adelaide Lake area on the west side of the Bighorn mountains. I had originally hoped to bike the 11 loop around the lakes but due to some issues with my right shoulder it didn’t happen.
The route towards Shell Reservoir on FS271

View from my camp spot
I had thought that there would’ve been more people out camping or hunters out scouting but besides the few vehicles I past a couple of miles back I was the only one out here along the lake. There were actually some other folks camping towards the end of FS271 that I found but they were still miles away from where I was.
It was nice to have some peace and quite while out camping.
Saturday morning started off to a cold start : mid-September in Wyoming at around 9000 ft.
After a quick breakfast I set out to explore the area.
Shell Reservoir
Adelaide Lake – if you look in the background you can see the manmade dam and how low the water level looking at the marks on the dam.
Had to take some shots with the moon in the background.
Heading down FS271
The junction with FS280 and lesser used portion of the road
