Mountain Pond

Yes, the weather was about as awful as this picture would suggest.

I would have much rather stayed at Campsite 4, but it was already taken. Campsite 3 was pretty good, but occasionally you could smell the outhouse from it. I threw a whole bunch of waste paper in (ripped up maps), to hopefully control the smell by adding more carbon to the human waste in the outhouse.

I purposefully picked this campsite, and parked my truck so that the first rays of the sun, would come through the truck cap, and wake me up around the crack of down (around 6:35 AM this time of year).

That's my rig with all the messy camping gear and sleeping stuff around, as I first awake in the morning.
