How much of this is difficult trails? Maybe I could convince the wife to let me bring her waggy?

None of the trails are difficult for a FSJ that in good operating condition. Poughkeepsie Gulch can and does make body damage if you don't follow the right lines.

Like Flint said most of the trails are easy for an FSJ. Not much more than dirt roads. The scenery is AWESOME!

Several of the trails are possible with a passenger car, for that matter. :)

I think we need to ask questions if we have them. I feel I have already helped with where the map is found. I am pretty sure they don't need any more help than that unless they ask for it. Folks who are coming and staying at the KOA can help by letting the organizers know what site(s) they are booked at. How: Send Michael a PM as mentioned. I am not in control of the content, the horizontal and the vertical.

Remember though: While at the KOA, Dave (the owner) is in charge. :)

Haha, maybe this year we can take 'unorganized' to the next level! We will show the jellybeans how it's done. Or how it's done but not done. Crap I am so confused. Anyways, I do what little I can. Ask anyone.

I am going to be there, somewhere, and I am bringing tortilla's, cheese and los dos salsa!

Hey guys, we are slowly getting the map updated so hang in there.

IMPORTANT: If you haven't done so already please make your reservations at the KOA soon! There are a few spots open according to the owner at the KOA and he will want to free them up soon. When you call just say you are with the Full Size Jeep group.

Definitely! It's not like it was 10 years ago when you could just watch for people to drop the week before. There's the Jellybeans (FJCruisers), several motorcycle groups, and LOTS more regular Griswolds invading the area than there used to be. Ridgeway State Park books so solid that you have to wait in line for an hour for a DAY visit, not just to camp. Barring some natural disaster that keeps people away you won't be able to just show up and get a spot, at the KOA or otherwise. There will be fifty hipsters in conversion vans in line in front of you.
