Camp fi reFun

This photo was taken in March 2020. We were camping at Lake Pleasant in Arizona. A few days in this idyllic and quiet spot, we were suddenly surrounded by a huge entourage of RVs from Gunnison, Colorado. They were escaping the sud den covid-19 lockdowns in their state to go boondocking in the warm weather down south. Sadly, that camping area was permanently closed afterwards because it was so overburdened during the pandemic. BY MARK FAGAN #99408
