Stand on the East End, and Look up at the Starry Sky

Arrived here at 8:30 pm after a couple of hours drive through flatlands. Didn't have any nearer choice from Jupiter because everything else was booked. It is August 2020. On the fly, found this site, registered on recreation.gov, and was given an email with the combination to the lock on the gate. Drove in. The site is clean and quiet. Lots of bugs on that muggy night. Set up tent. And slept peacefully. Bathrooms are clean, showers are good. Camped right next to the lock. The site is run by the Army Corps of Engineers, so everything has a certain look of efficiency. There was a night attendant who emerged from the first RV in sight after the vehicle entrance on the western end. Double water hook ups, full electric. No shade. Each spot has a roofed picnic table, a fire pit, and a barbecue stand. Very quiet. Nothing much to do here if you're active, save for going around the loop on your bicycle, lol. Great place to get away from it all and contemplate life.
