Brutal Road to a Below Freezing Solo Night at the Lake

Описание: I was dead set on a lake camp and too stubborn to change the plan. The first lake I checked had cars rolling through and nowhere I actually wanted to set up, so I kept driving deeper into the forest toward another lake I had never been to.

The road up was rough with ruts and potholes from recent storms, which probably explains why nobody else bothered. When I finally got to the next lake I realized it was a campground that was closed and completely empty, so I figured it was as good as any quiet spot and set up camp.

Temps dropped well below freezing, the wind did its thing early on, and there were some little bursts of snow and freezing rain mixed in. Cold, quiet, and I ended up with the whole place to myself. Never saw another person the entire time.

Thanks for hanging out with me out there.
