The road is a tortuous route, best suited for small to mid-sized vehicles... Communications CB ch.22 & FRS ch.8-0 And, we're going to hit the trail/Rd from HS#24: Ferguson Ridge Trail (this one is just a dirt road), so the total unpaved mileage is more than only 5 miles... _________________________ Who's missing?

XSAL Member Registered: 05/04/01 Posts: 1685 Loc: 94043 -> 19355	Because of the trail condition from recent rain/snow, this camping trip might not take place at Hite Cove Rd, and I'm still not 100% sure where we'll end up. If you're just planning to pop up in the morning w/o signing up in this thread, you might find yourself waiting for me and/or others who will not be there to meet. Please PM me your phone number if you're interested in going, so that you won't be left alone... George, Robert... Don't worry. I have your phone numbers.. _________________________ Who's missing?
