Wake up! After a rejuvenating sleep, I get up and snap a few photos of the Kelbaker Hills area before packing up

It was a bit chilly last night and windy enough that it made a lot of noise on the tent, which kept me from sleeping as much as I would have liked. Luckily it was not a downright cold night. The moon was nearly full, which made for a nice late-night walk around my campsite.

Once the sun came up, it relaxed me and I managed to sleep in a bit more, very high-quality sleep.

The Indian Springs area, which I won't visit on this trip, is in the hills in the background.
