Ken,

Thanks for posting the link. I may have missed it in the proposal letter. I read they will be adding bear boxes and picnic tables along with the new campsites, but no mention of additional pit toilets or water supply. Based on the map, that's going to be some nice uphill walk to use the 'rest room'. Wonder how many will forgo the uphill walk and use the closest tree?


I've used the current over-night campground a few times. It's not the most quiet/private campsite, however, it is convenient to be so close to the store, water supply, restroom, and TH.

Hey Wazzu, no worries, I hear each walk-in site comes with a wag bag. laugh
