Very Quiet Spot

We stopped here to spend the night and worked well for us. Very quiet spot and saw a beautiful sunset. The gravel road is dusty and a little bumpy, but the spot is nice.

Nice quiet stop

It’s a pretty flat square parking lot that does the trick for a quick stop to rest. It’s about 2 miles off the highway and about a mile down gravel road. It was quiet and no one was there but I imagine it may get busier during hunting season as hunting is allowed there. Bigger rigs may have a harder time parking there
