Crew was working on project and had a road though campground blocked. I had to go the wrong direction on a one way road to get to my spot. Fortunately I was able to get turned around at an intersection for the right approach and back into my spot.

Even though it rained for the entire time we were there, it was a little bit of heaven in the trees. Quiet and secluded site #31 was perfect for us. Will be back!
