“They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don’t you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn’t have to go
No, no, no, no.”

– A Summer Song, Chad and Jeremy

Camping Up at Mason Lake Site 1

Moving to this campsite on Sunday night, this site had decent cell service for working, plus the lake just down below. The shade kept things cool, but my only concern was a lack of sun most of the day at this campsite made it so I had to move my truck to ensure adequate power for powering my laptop at work.
