As I ride the 3/4 mile out of Mid Hills campground, I stop to see if the water is better here than from the tap by my campsite
The water from this tap turns out to be pleasantly potable, and not over-chlorinated like the swimming-pool water from the tap by my campsite. I fill my bottles.
This part of the campground burned heavily in the 2005 brush fires, but across the road from this charred landscape (far right), a stand of old junipers lives on.
