Late morning at my campsite at Providence Mountains State Recreation Area

There are only six campsites here, and mine is the only one that was occupied last night. Despite the heavy winds yesterday evening, it's a pleasant sunny morning here now.

Staff at the Park office tell me that the wind supposedly reached 30 miles per hour. Apparently the winds do pick up like that from time to time at this location and campers occasionally leave unplanned because of it.
