As I promised, I am treating myself to a sunset at Plateau point. It's a flat, short 3-mile round trip from my camping spot to Plateau Point. I hiked out south on the campground spur from the main trail, and hung a left at the sign for the Plateau Point Trail. One other backpacker from camp, an aging Californian from Pismo Beach and his younger, barefoot hippy friend were on their way up this evening as well. I'd chatted with them over the water spigot earlier in the day and we both agreed Plateau Point was one of the reasons we'd decided to camp at Indian garden. They headed up about thirty minutes ago. Also at the Point we’re a couple of lovebirds, who either hiked down from the rim on a day hike, or they’re stealth camping at Indian Garden.
Here’re a few pictures of the hike, followed by your moment of Zen.

Sunset at Plateau Point, with two fellow campers and two love birds down for a day hike. I hope they have head lamps for the hike back to the rim.
Beautiful! Thanks 😎
