Well.............went out campingat Waiporous this last weekend. 
Did Lost Knife, Meadow Creek, The Falls, Margret Lake
 Broke the number one rule...........NEVER WHEEL ALONE.
Never saw anybody else all day back in there, seems nobody goes to Waiprous anymore........camped by the river crossing and saw hardly any traffic at all.

we did some of those trails on sunday....margaret lake never been there before was gorgeous.....didn't make the falls though....but did see the  f150 that was stuck all night with 2 kids...and was alone as well...sounds like you stayed on the trails that you were aloud to be on.

OUCH.............I'll bet his  wife/girlfriend was happy.
 If you plan on doing the falls, better try soon as it closes Sept 1st !!!
Let me know..............I'd go one more time before summers over, saw some yellow on a few trees already back there !!!  :o

I met the wife the other day, The truck was in getting a new starter. Yup, she was more than just a little upset, I don't think he will out there by himself again ;D ;D
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

When I get my 01 Cherokee going, I will be wheeling every weekend, so if anyone wants to go just give me a holler.  I will be putting in the ZJ coils and spacers right away because I don't have alot of cash laying around to dump into my heep yet. All I have on it right now are all-season tires, so I will have to buy a used set of mud tires.
