I saw a few deer on my way to my next campsite.
I arrived at what was supposed to be my final campsite, the Cedar Creek Campground in the Sequoia National Forest. I really didn't care for this campground. It was too close to the road, the picnic table had graffiti all over it and previous campers had left trash all over the place. There were even bags of what looked like human excrement in a couple locations around the campsite. The best way I can describe my reaction to the condition in which I found this campsite is impotent rage. I was absolutely furious about what previous campers had done to the place, but I suppose fortunately, there was no one to focus my anger on. I picked up as much of the trash as I could, though I left the poop bags alone, and moved on to another camping area after only one night.

Lunch, which I made before I left the Cedar Creek Campground, on the shore of Lake Isabella. This is where I was when I made the third post in this thread.

My final campsite along a dirt road on a ridge. I really liked this campsite and wish I'd had more time to explore.
My final dinner on this trip, macaroni and cheese with sliced brautwurst and yellow squash mixed in.
It was a great trip. I had a lot of fun, but more importantly, I got a good feel for what works and what doesn't in my road trip setup. I now know what I need to change before my next trip.
I need better, more organized storage. I need some good, non-stick cookware and I need to reorganize my under floor storage a bit. All told though, I think I'll have a pretty good setup once I make those little tweaks.
