Took a trip out to Carrizo Plains National Monument Over the weekend. It was a short trip but we made it a 2 nighter with a first night stop at Buena Bista Aquatic Recreational area.

The first night was a little miserable being surrounded by farms and camping right next to a man made lake. But once we got to the trail head for our destination it got way better. On the way to our intended site it turned out the road came to an abrupt end. The view however was gorgeous at this point. So we decided to break and setup camp here. I ended up not taking as much photos as I’d have liked during this trip, but did enjoy just being out there.

The shiftpod worked out awesome albeit a little bit of an overkill. What I found was that I really needed to consolidate my gear and get rid of the extra stuff that I don’t use to make room for stuff that I will use.
