When you're looking for a spot to camp... never go up a mountain road that you haven't been on before... especially in spring. Especially especially if the road goes up, and up, and up.
It's the road to Cottonwood Lake in Oregon…

When you're looking for a spot to camp... never go up a mountain road that you haven't been on before... especially in spring. Especially especially if the road goes up, and up, and up.
It's the road to Cottonwood Lake in Oregon's Fremont National Forest, and I myself had done the very same thing a few days earlier on this same road, farther back: had to turn around a motorhome because the road was still snowed in.
I was camped beside this road about a half mile back, waiting for the snow to melt, and I saw this RV going up the road. With a trailer (that had a BMW on it!). I knew they would need help, so I went up in my Jeep to render assistance.
He got his big thing turned around, but just barely.
Don't be this guy. Or me, a few days earlier.
