I'm checked in and my tent is set up at Tecopa Hot Springs Campground

I take a camp site near the road because my favourite one down by the dry lake is occupied. I like the trees in this camp site.

I'm happy for the night and go for a much-needed shower and soak in the hot tubs to soothe my tired muscles.

One of the campground staff remembers me from my trip here last year, and there's also a local resident outside with whom I chatted last year.

I feel at home here again, like I did last year, for some reason. I retreat to my camp site after sunset to prepare one of those instant add-water-to-pouch backpacking meals.
