Excellent overlooking away from everything

Almost at the top of the mountain but not quite. Pretty good view of the lake below and almost no light pollution. Very windy road to get up but I pulled my trailer fine. Washboard road at the beginning but it gets better. Several places along the way, and beyond, to pull off to camp, at least a dozen, and they're quite dispersed from each other. Only saw one other person the entire time.
