Johnson Lane Ride April 14th (Date Change)

[AlfaBaz]

I am looking at google earth and I noticed that shortly after the pavement turns to dirt, on Johnson Lane, the road forks, to the south and the east. It looks like a wide spot on the east bound road, just a few hundred yards down, but there are berms nearby, suggesting that this may be a "track" that might need to be avoided. Where is a good place for the group to camp? Will it become obvious when I get there?

I usually camp right at the end of the pavement. Advantage is that I don't have to go through the little dip in the road right at the staging area. Disadvantage is that it can be noisy.

The wide, open area you are mentioning is the predominant camping area. I think I can get my trailer in there (42 foot toy hauler), and I've seen lots of other guys go in there to camp. Should be a great group area!

Ken, the camp site that we chose is staying to the right at the fork cross the gully up 500’ turn left on the road that runs parallel to the gully about 1000’ there’s a big flat spot to camp.

We are definitely camping Scott. I have to justify my new trailer. LOL. I know Craig Bommarito and his wife are camping (I don't know there screen name) and I believe Ken (kbatchell) is also. I'm sure there are more but I don't know personally. Jeff (batman) hasn't made up his mind about camping or getting a hotel yet.

We are looking at showing up around 8:00pm Friday night. 3 1/2 hour drive and I can't get off work very early...

I think maybe I cannot see the whole picture in my browser... I see area 1, area 2, and a blue flag (is this the #3 everyone is referring to?) but by the directions Jeff provided, I read "stay to the right at the fork" to mean either hang a right and go almost south, where the #1 is circled and then make a left just before I see the big white "Google" written in the ground (LOL) OR, more likely, go straight @ #1, pass #2 and go to the blue flag. I went to google earth, but I cannot see the "gully" talked about, but maybe it will be obvious when I get there.
