Of course, no trip to the Big South Fork is complete without immersing yourself in the 'time machine' that is the Charit Creek Lodge. This video is mainly an immersive look at what one can expect with a two-night stay at the Lodge, though we did manage to squeeze in about five miles of hiking, including a trip up to Twin Arches nestled on the ridge above the Lodge. I first discovered the Big South Fork and Charit Creek Lodge back in 2015. That trip, with my dogs Jaden and a one-year old Bailey, didn't go exactly as planned - the tent never made it out of the pack - but the part that did go well was the night we spent at Charit Creek Lodge. It was pure magic. The experience was much like taking a time machine back to 1850. No electricity, no heat except what you can obtain from a wood fire in a cast iron stove, oil lamps for light, and staying in a very authentic backcountry lodge built in 1817. OK, there is a bath house with showers, flush toilets, and propane heat, ice cold beers, and gourmet meals served to you.... but that just makes the experience even more amazing. Each of my stays at Charit Creek Lodge has simply gotten better. Greg, the proprietor for all of my stays, makes sure that you're experience is everything you could hope for. He is in motion non-stop doing everything from maintaining the complex, to doing the housekeeping, to cooking the gourmet breakfasts and dinners that are included with your stay. Boomer, the uber-chill lodge dog, who I met as a puppy in 2015, was still around making the rounds keeping the guests company. Boomer even has his own 'merch' now! For those who have watched my other videos this one is done in the same style - 30-minutes in length, intended to bring the audience along for the 'ride', and with a still picture slide show with music at the end. If you just have a few minutes skip to the end and enjoy the pictures.
