VerifiedJanuary 18, 2020 • Stayed at: 001, Loop: AREA DRAKE PEAK LOOKOUT
My wife and I had a great time. It was cold and windy (10/9) but when the sun was out the room got really warm. Full sky, sunrise-sunset. 1st night saw UFO...no really. Saw pulsing orbs in SE at maybe 10,000'(we're at 8,000) moved to south in blink of an eye, then SW, and were chased off by 2 military jets. Entire event took less than 15 seconds. Did not come back second night. Other than that we had a peaceful time. The door does not lock so we moved table in front of door. Wood heater is a wood eater, but kinda heats the space.
