Made a quick trip into WCC for some fall trout fishing. Bull Pen had 8 vehicles at 7 am. The road in is really wash-boarded but otherwise no big obstacles. Passed a few folks camped just past the 1st crossing and a few more at the 3rd. Found swimmers at the 4th crossing and continued on. About 40 minutes later I found the faint trail that drops down to the creek. People were camped right there. Continued upstream a half mile to the next spot which was empty and kept going. About another half mile up was another spot I found in April I wanted to test out. Caught a few small fish for dinner and settled in. Two people hiked through on their way upstream and then ended up camping downstream from me at the other good spot. It got rather breezy at night and remained so until the next morning. Saw plenty of day hikers on the way back, including "nude dude" who was hiking by the first crossing

Kind of a busy trail on a Sunday for that sort of thing, and there were kids out too...
