Remote and awesome 👌

I found this camp ground on my way to Montana, just wanted to stop for a night and be in the middle of nowhere. I have a rav4 and it made it out there on the dirt road that are maintained and saw some wildlife along the road. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves and will be heading out there again in spring.
