    Thanks Shad - looks like a beautiful spot. I appreciate that you share location info about the places you visit. Some UA-camrs are a bit coy about the locations they camp, saying they'll become overrun with people. But in reality I think the few people who care enough to take note of places, and then make the effort to travel there and camp once are not going to spoil them. Anyway, thanks for the vid 👍🏼
