Story

I pulled into camp on Thursday night at 11:30 and was able to secure the last available campsite. The others joined on Friday night, and we stayed through Sunday morning. The weather was chilly and dipped below freezing one of the nights. It was also a bit windy and pulled several tent stakes up.
