Add to the fact that I bought a VX that came from New Jersey and they salt the roads RE: rusty undercarrage
Although the Dragon was never 4X4'd, I would hate for something to go "gronk" when I am out by myself....
Best,

I am not sure what we will bring yet. The decision will be made this weekend probly. If we got the room they or their gear can ride with us. I plan on bringing my canoe.

Cool, yeah, I think it would be nice to have the canoe down there, I just have no way of carrying my spare and my canoe at the same time up top. That said, I could fit a lot of gear under the canoe to make room for the spare in the back.

EXCITED!

You know, and now that I think of it, my brother could drive down himself to the campsite at least if he car can make it. James, do you think a low profile car will be able to get to and onto the campsite ok? He has a 350Z. Is it paved all the way there and then like gravel or grass once you get to the campsite?

If you guys are still working on Sunday afternoon, I might stop by since we often get out early on Sundays. I need to do the trans and the CVs.

The twin lakes campsite access is no problem for a regular vehicle.

Yeah, I would think we are. I am going to take Linda to the mall on Sunday morning so she can do some shopping and then I am gonna come home and tackle my diffs at least. I hope to do my diffs and xfer case at least tomorrow.

Greetings!
Have some info on the Twin Lakes campsite.
I scouted around today, and talked to one of the camp hosts that has been there for a few seasons.
I looks like I will be able to score a few of the 1st come sites without much issue. I may have to go up a day or two before the weekend and claim the sites (pitch tents, pay for) but it should secure us the best ones. I think it's worth it tp pay a little extra to make sure we are where we want to be.
I have in mind spots A1 - A4 on the upper right of this map:

They are farthest away from the masses, are close to a bathroom, and right next to the lake & a boat launch! Fishing is supposed to be pretty good here also, so bring yur gear if that's your gig.
Each spot is $19 bucks a day, with a total of 6 persons allowed at each site. Exta vehicles per site are $4 bucks. So depending on the total number of folks coming, how many tents we want to put on each, we may only need 2 spots.
Let me know what you all think.

Well, my VX spent its tender years in Chicago, and my VX's underbelly is a tad on the rusty side too, but...
