Thanks. I did visit Woods Lake several years ago. It was a lovely area. I hung out there for a while one afternoon, but didn't camp. I also failed to add "Woods Lake" as a keyword to whichever blog post that was... however, using a site specific Google search I found the post. I now know I didn't camp there as I'd already registered a campsite with a fabulous view at the Sunshine Campground. I guess I didn't keyword the local as I included only one paragraph and no photos about it in that blog post.
Have you ever been to Alta Lakes south of Telluride? I'd not heard of it but stumbled across it on Google maps AFTER returning from this last trip. Darn, I would have had plenty of time to check it out. Seems there's a ghost town and also a dispersed camping area near the lake.
We have yet to visit Alta Lakes. I read in our local papers last year that the Forest Service was in the process of addressing heavy camper impacts there by better defining vehicle access and camp sites. Something like nearby Priest Lake which looked pretty hammered before the USFS made similar changes there.
