and then going up Rampart,

before getting a few moon rise shots.

Next morning I found the dirt I was looking for previously and took a stroll down Cave Canyon for a ways. Very nice.

Once back at the truck I moved over to another very nice camp to watch another sunset and moon rise before shuffling the playlist off to sleep.
