Flat with hills, near highway but peaceful

There's nothing striking about this dispersed area, but it's a nice place to stay for a night or two. Longer, if you want to day-trip around the Preserve. And Baker is just down the road for gas, water, groceries, restaurants. It's plain, but we liked it.
