This is genuinely year round camping country. Had I been ready earlier I'd have probably gone to Death Valley and/or Joshua Tree. It's NEVER too cold to camp at DV :)

I won't make the UP this year. It is truly one of my favorite areas and I'll miss not being there. I need to go check out that Copper Mine you wrote about last year....

I may need tires on my trailer before I head out for Washington. They don't wear very fast on a teeny trailer like that. I'll get a couple more local trips in before...
