    I'm also wondering if the flooding is affecting the trail or the site.

    And, for one more question (at present) - is the water at the campsite accessible year-round? (Other than the river/canal.)

    We always carry in our own water. It would take a lot of flooding to affect the site
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    i did a drive by near the canal, it doesnt look like theres enough snow for a sled, ya may be able to bike in, but im going to hike in. the lower lot at mc kinley has been closed for the season, but if ya like , you can park in the upper lot and walk down to drop off water, wood or what ever to our campsite. i will be there sometime tomorrow morning.

    I don't think I'm going to try biking in.

    I may try the parking closer to drop off stuff idea, though.

    Hoping to be there late morning/early afternoon.
