It's a bit chilly up here at Mid Hills campground! I put on my sweater, set up the tent, settle in, and enjoy the sunset

Mid Hills campground will be home base for a few days. I've camped here many times before, and always enjoy coming back to what's left of this high-desert forest (after the 2005 brush fires): except perhaps on weekends when it sometimes gets busy here.
