We used to day trip to Owl Canyon when DH was working at Ft. Irwin and loved it. One evening while grilling hot dogs this guy wanders over from a really dilapidated old car he was camping in. We were the only people there. We shared a hot dog with him but he refused a beer. He warned us to watch out for the "mole people". He did not elaborate much just said they come out at night. Yes, he was very peculiar and spoke of other strange things but was very nice. He went back to his car and we stayed a couple of more hours then headed back to our hotel.
Fast forward 3 or so years we bought our 2nd MH in Santa Maria, CA. And made DH promise that we would stop and camp at Owl Canyon. We did. It was lovely, we were all alone. We grilled the first night and left the pit outside. The wind blew that night like a hurricane. Found the pit a good mile from the MH. Another camping memory made.
