Beautiful spot within the tall pines

No facilities, but a beautiful spot. Lots of shade. Dirt road in decent shape. No road signs off of highway 15. Just need to use the GPS coordinates. A few level spots with fire rings.  A little ways in you'll see large piles of gravel. Not sure what that's for. There is a placard that states "Constructed by the United States Conservation Corp in 1976". Not sure what was constructed. There is just a dirt road.
