Surveyor Name:	Jesse Williams
Camp Description:	The campsite is easy to spot on the left when going up the Kirk Creek trail. It was two flat areas reach with a fire ring (although fires are not allowed in July). There are a couple of small boulders to sit on and is quite comfortable. A few things to note: There are a couple of smaller trails off of this site that lead to what look like common "bathroom" areas. The site is pretty dusty and is just dust/rocks (no grass or pine needles). The actual distance that we recorded walking was around 4 miles. Water is about 1/4 mile up from the site.
Water Source:	Trickle
Water Source Details:	Small trickle across trail about 1/4 mile up from the camp. The water falls off of a log so a bottle is easy to fill.
Weather Conditions:	Weather was nice with slight overcast, followed by a light thunderstorm.
