Been here twice, and it was a little bit weird both times.
Drive for six-ish miles up the side of the mountain, then get to a quiet campground on the point of land between a creek and a smaller creek.
Both times it has seemed gloomy here.
Both times I have been really happy driving back down the mountain to get out of here.
The rhythms of life - I was here eight years to exactly less one day!
It is quiet and peaceful. Camp hosts came and knocked on my window after dark for no other reason than to be nosy busybodies. Didn't like it.
Whole area was spooky in a Deliverance sort of way. Camp host was cleaning sites with a leaf blower ... in an oak forest in the fall. pretty, but the town creeped me outl
