Got there Sunday night and it was taken. Was able to find a spot up the road with service though it wasn’t as level as this spot was

Nice dead end on BLM

BLM/Forest land off Ayers Creek rd. Nice dead end with decent sized turnaround. Room for a mid sized rig or perhaps small trailer although initially turning around could be tight. Large rigs/trailers not recommended. Quiet, birds and bees for me although there's evidence of target practice and there was some shots heard around 7pm last night from the other target location nearby which ended shortly. Good T-Mobile signal 3-4 bars good enough for TV on hotspot. Gas 3 miles downhill and Dollar General 8 miles east of gas.
