| no partners | | Wanted to escape the March crowds at Roper and go somewhere car-camping (to test out the platform bed) that wouldn't be crowded - that eliminated State and National Parks and popular Forest Service camps ... also wanted close/quick to get to and as warm as possible. Which led me to good old Riverview - I was not disappointed - only two other campers in the whole place! 
The wind was unrelenting. I was glad I had the camper bed to retreat to and read out of the wind between short hikes.
Two random black and white dogs ran thru my campsite and when they heard me calling them, they passed thru again - this time barking at me. Saw a camper hop in his truck and go retrieve them.
The bed worked out great! It was the best camp sleep ever - almost like my bed at home and I was blissfully comfortable, even with overnight lows 10 degrees lower than my normal tent-camping limit.
Thankfully I had a nice, wind-free morning and was able to enjoy a warming fire. Enjoyed all the little birdy visitors - especially the cactus wren calling from on top of my shade ramada ... the sound of his little feet as he ran back and forth from end to end  !
90% sure I saw a badger on the drive home. |
