Do you have a gps location for where we are going to camp? I might try and see if I can make it into camp on Thursday. I can't wait to get out and do somemore wheelin.

Sure:

N 38*34.283
W 119*54.867

Hmm...the NorCal Backroads & 4WD trails book has slightly different waypoints...

trail head:
N 38*36.285
W 119*55.283

camp:
N 38*34.182
W 119*54.491

trail end:
N 38*32.220
W 119*53.444

The trail should be a breeze for you from HWY88 to camp.

- Travel on HWY88 till you see the turnoff for Blue Lakes on your left (I assume you would take HWY89 to HWY88 toward Kirkwood).
- Take that road all the way to the lakes and campground.
- Once you reach the camp area keep to your left and start looking for signs for Deer Valley trail near the dam.
- Hit the trail traveling parallel to the waterfall for a bit
- You will hit the 1st water crossing within a meadow (pic where dean is stuck), just push on
- You will travel a ways and then hit water crossing #2. That is where camp is.

Your total trail time should be around 2-3 hours (going solo) depending on how many pics you take. wink

I would say just scout the immediate area around that water crossing for a good spot to camp. There are a few really good ones after you cross the stream. I doubt you will have any issue, but give me a call if you need more info.
