Another overnighter in a new (to me) camp site in the Pinchot State Forest. This time though, instead of trying to beat the weather back to the car on day 2, I head into camp knowing there could be a pretty rough weather system headed my way that could include a 30F degree temperature drop, high winds, rain, sleet and snow.
