Gary and I did a 4 day backpack loop trip from McCain Valley down to Canebrake and back up Pepperwood trail. To keep my herniated L3/4/5 discs happy over the last few years I don't carry my DSLR anymore so photos are usually from my phone. Damn wind turbines are now visible from anywhere near Sombrero. We camped the first night a few miles S/W of Sombrero and saw nothing but blinking red lights all night long.

McCain Valley is special....period.

Nights were pretty windy and cold, 38 every night. 3rd night on Pepperwood we had a handful of undocumented travelers pass our camp looking to do the same, once I told them Gary snores pretty bad they decided to move on..haha....I am the one who snores.

There are some cool old State Park signs still around

I bought some Pencott Badlands fabric and made my own gear...maybe I went too far?
