I want to take this opportunity to thank all those people in the Forest Service who have made planning for this trip such an adventure.

If you filter through all the information, there are three camps that are going to be available to us that have access to the 4C trail. On this map:

They are #17, #19, & #16.

I think its going to come down to who is going and what time they are going to get there, and what time they are going to leave on Sunday. Another factor is going to be parking availability at or near any of those campsites.

Camp #19 is 7 miles from the trail head at #17 (about 2-2 1/2 hours hiking). Camp #16 is approximately 9 miles (about 3-3 1/2 hours).

Camp #16 shows to be just off the trail with no easy road acess.

I'm starting to think that this whole thing would be easier after deer season when we can camp any durn place we want.
