Last week I was overworked (as usual) & trying to pry myself away from the computer for a sunset drive. I took the trusty Isuzu Amigo out with 201,000 miles on it, way out west for some dirt road exploring. Marian Campground was nice at 7000' elevation, but the views were smoggy over the Central Valley. I then took a run to the OHV haven of Quatal Wash to check on a campsite for our June Clean-Up. It was a lot warmer at the bottom of Quatal Canyon. On my way back up the hill, greeted by pine trees & a camp fire at Toad Spring Campground. For a Monday night, this was rare. A locals birthday celebration was in already place, with Hillbilly Rigs & all. I stopped to say hi, warm up & stayed out until 4am.... on a Monday night. I love living in the mountains!
