    Looked up the location. Naturally, it is about as far away from the campground as it could get. My son and I will be there (If my knees hold out).

    I have the same problem, Quietwater. Last year I rented a thing like a golf cart. It worked out really well. they are $70 a day though. Not cheap. Reserved one this year,too. Supposed to be located just out side the main gate.

    You silly Canuck. Not once have I said it was too far. The other two may be painfully accurate since I avoid controlled airspace at ALL cost and I do have a job that pays for this high priced hobby of mine. And for heaven's sake, quit telling people you are going to bring me dog nuts. I don't want any dog nuts, I want doughnuts. In Texas there's a difference. You can bring me calf nuts, mountain oysters, prairie shrimp, but NO dog nuts! With any luck at all I will find a parking spot right next to you so I can deal you 5 days of misery.
