The last time I visited this campground was back in 1982 during a weekend camping party that I took with my colleagues in the U.C. Riverside Geography Department. It was a long time ago but I remember that wonderful weekend like it was yesterday. We all had a great time exploring the park, clambering on these boulders and flying kites in the strong, desert winds.
I was glad to see that this campsite hadn't changed much. Heck, even the dumpsters were in the same place! Standing here brought back lots of great memories from that fantastic weekend and I could only wonder whatever happened to my colleagues and where they are now.
