About

Secluded

This place was beautiful! We found a spot right next to the water and fell asleep to the sound of it.

Where we found was a very large pull off, minimal road traffic. It was perfect for the night before we continued our road trip.

Quiet and comfortable

Parked next to the road (didn’t want to mess with any critters) and barely noticed any road the whole night. Stayed from 5 until around 7 the next day.
