I have posted a few pictures of the Robinson Lake area. I have just started exploring the area...there will be more to follow along with a few more details about the area and my experiences as a CampHost.

Part of the Day Use Area of the campground
Yellow Skunk Cabbage
It has skunk like odor to draw flies as pollinators. It is edible but you may experience a burning
sensation in the mouth if eaten raw. If
roasted/dried it removes the burning sensation.
The yellow skunk cabbage is related to taro a staple for the
Polynesians. It is also eaten by black
bears.
Trillium
It can be boiled as a green and eaten. Some Western Indian’s used it as a presumed
aid to childbirth with a nick name of Birthroot.
