Almost a full moon tonight! It is almost dark when I arrive at Tecopa Hot Springs campground a mile or so down the road from here.

There aren't many people left at the campground, and I get a decently private site down at the back of the parking area in front of the dry lake.

After a shower and soak in the hot pool, I make another instant backpacking meal.

I end the evening a bit before midnight by going out for a short walk out on the dry lake to enjoy the moonlight.
