Every March we head down south for our first family camping trip of the years with the kids. This year the weather looked a bit cold and windy (this seems to be a recent theme for all of our trips) but we left home with high hopes of running into some decent weather. We arrived in the early afternoon and set up camp in a cool site near Indian Creek on the Lockhart road. The wind was blowing so hard we had to weigh our tents down with heavy rocks to keep them from blowing away. After camp was tethered down nice and solid we drove into The Needles to do some of the shorter hikes around the park like Cave Springs, Pothole point, and the Slick Rock trails.
