Last night, I found my favorite kind of campground, a free one, in which to spend the night. I had planned to drive to Eureka to find a motel until I saw the sign for a campground. I even arrived with some daylight left in which to set up the tent. It was a really lovely spot, surrounded by sage & pinyon pines. High on a hill looking down in to the valley I could see in the distance the headlights from cars appraoching on the highway. They were so far away, they didn't seem to be moving at all.
With camp set up, I hiked the short trail around some more petroglyphs. It was too dark to see the prehistoric artwork, but the full moon cast enough light to hike through the shrub forest without a flashlight.
It got really cold last night. It was 32 degree when I woke up at 6:30. I wasn't uncomfortable, but was for the first time aware of the cold. This morning, I retraced my steps around the petroglyph loop. The ones from two days ago were more impressive.
