What I did with my Three-Day Weekend

More random pretty pictures:
I think this is the remains of a previous hiker…

More self-portraits:
More pretties:
Occasionally I'd find some very compacted sand, and I'd barely leave a footprint:
A place that is beautiful in a way quite distinct from the older parks.
Later.
