I just spent three days enjoying some camping at Inks Lake, and an absolutely spectacular wildflower show. I rode down Sunday after church - down Hwy 287 - and enjoyed fields of flowers all the way.
Reaching the park around 3pm, I got lucky and got this primo site - well shaded with oak and cedar trees, and right next to a little cove.
Once camp was pitched, I did a little walking tour. You really don't have to leave the park to see the show.
It was a long day, the weather down there was hot and humid, and I was ready for for day's end.
Peaceful Easy Feeling - I snapped this about 9pm. The camp was quiet, and I sat outside & enjoyed Wagner & Beethoven on the MP3 player.
Unfortunately, the quiet didn't last. About 10pm, the drunks in the next site got tuned up, and the radio in their pickup truck joined in. About 1am, I had enough. I walked into their campsite and pointed a flashlight in their faces while explaining how far sound carries at night. They got the message and turned it down. Finally some sleep.
