Yes, the site is trailer friendly, but the last bit of road is a bit rough. Some additional clearance is helpful.

Think we can come. Maybe Friday or Saturday. Save a run on Green Draggin for us.
Just need to put a new window in before we go.

We will be departing early from Hampton campground in manning on Thursday morning
Stopping in Keremeos for fruit before heading up to apex

May stop at Billy’s in Princeton for breakfast
We are in a white F150 towing a 22’ Jayco trailer. I know, there are hundreds of us

If you find us, you can follow us up.
No radio in the truck
I live in Ladner and I drive an armoured vehicle. Draw your own conclusions.

Oh that’s great! I’m at Stemwinder right now until Thursday. Just a few minutes from Keremeos. I’d love to follow you up. I have a little service here so you could text or call me if you’d like and just give me an approx time and I’ll be ready to go.
6048681975. If not at least I know someone will be up there so I’ll know what to look for.
Thanks so much!

Trying to sort out my driveshaft. Figured it was a bad cv Center ball but took it apart tonight and it’s all fine. Looks like it just needs balancing but there’s a shortage of driveshaft shops who can balance on short notice.
The driveshaft I used on the last trip was a bit too short and it’s now sloppy in the splines since I ran it with not enough engagement.

Sorting through all my spare driveshafts now hoping for something the right length that runs smooth
