OK spot close to town

After a long day of riding in some brutal winds, I was done. I saw these metal cabanas & pulled over. It’s an old boat launch from days of old. There were several spots, and it looks like this spot has not been maintained. Big washouts, and some cement barriers are falling into ruts. The spots were flat, and there are fire rings, but no picnic tables. 2 portapotties nearby. No water!! The wind was HOWLING in the afternoon, but died as sun ducked behind tall cliffs. Sunrise was GORGEOUS & calm winds. Hwy 95 runs right by the spot, but due to camp being below road, noise is minimal. Traffic dies off at night.
