Ok people, here's the deal. We are going to run our trail (2n33) during the day, and that night stay at the North Shore Campgrounds. We are NOT going to be using the campground facilities, but the work station area for the SBNF. This is being provided to us as a courtesy of the AAT program. There is a large space for tents, and a big fire pit. Flush toilets are also available as well as a large gas BBQ for us to use. Pets are not permitted in this area.
We will be meeting at the Cedar Springs Dam overlook area at 9am, leaving for the trail at 9:30. I'll have a better idea of what maintenance our trail needs as the date get closer. We will be on the trail most of the day, so bring lunch, plenty of water, and even though the weather will be getting warmer, the AAT program recommends that you wear long pant, a good pair of work boots / shoes, and gloves. Plans are made to have the camping area unlocked for us to enter around 4:30, so we start heading that way around 4 or so.
As far as RVs and camper trailers, they are not allowed in the area we will camping in, but you may book a site in the general campground area at your own expense, and then join us for BBQ, and campfire fun. To reserve an RV space, please go here.

So, as far as dropping off or unhooking this might be a logistical nightmare as you will have to back track to recover your trailer or tow vehicle. Or make arrangements to check into your campsite earlier that morning to drop off the RV then proceeded down the 173 to the meeting spot. Any question about this, please contact me.
