Found An amazing spot west of Independence, Ca.
The view of the sierra mountains was breathtaking.
No shade at this spot and I new I would be staying here for at least a couple days so I set up my awning.
My camp was not to far from the main road so I went for a bike ride. I headed towards the mountains.
I found a developed campground that was closed. There was a little creek there and I stopped to enjoy it a bit and filter some water.
Another view of the creek.
Took this photo in case I decide to come camp here. It was officially closed-- no camp host, no amenities and no fee collections, but it seemed the grounds were open for dry camping at least.
