Camp Description:	Drove down Alder Camp Road from Los Burros/Los Burros Spur Road junction to explore the area. The road is very rutted and steep at times, and having 4x4 is helpful. Saw two shaded campsites with picnic tables and fire rings, although one of the fire rings is in a bit of disrepair. The creek was low but flowing well.

Camp Description:	I left gorgeous Villa Camp to continue up to Alder Camp. The trails were overgrown with poison oak (which doesn't affect me but would make this impassable for people who are affected). Up at Alder, there were only a couple stagnant pools of water and the swarms of bugs were so intense that I turned around immediately and hiked back down the three miles back to Villa.
Water Source:	Stagnant
Water Source Details:	Stagnant water, extreme bugs
Weather Conditions:	Hades
