Those are good folks at Grant Lake. And I recall some amount of shade
at that campground. It was they who alerted us to our fuel leak :-o
when we inquired about their showers. If you don't stay there, they
can't let you use their showers. But at Oh! Ridge there's a
commercial campground with paid showers that are available to anyone.
Those are the only showers we could find in the area other than at
motels.
