I decide to head to Pachalka Spring as originally planned; my campsite slowly morphs into a well-packed 10-ton bike

On a future trip, I hope to do another hike in the Cima Dome area like I did last year. With only a few more days left on this trip, my goal is to make it to Pachalka Spring in the Clark Mountain Range, which I haven't visited yet.

While packing up, an SUV passes by my campsite on the dirt road, the only motor vehicle I've seen back here since arriving yesterday evening.
