The actual parking area at the site is marked as Day use Only. Not sure if that means you cannot pop tent in the general area. It is still pretty muddy in some areas and the bugs are alive. There is a camping spot right on the lake just down the road called Firemans Point, but it is small and popular so it may be taken. There are lots of spots along the river towards Burgdorf and an actual forest service camp facility, Northwest Passage campground. The site is about 25min from downtown McCall driving either way around the lake. I will post a map.

Nope, no hobby shops. But there is one stop light to contend with! |

Wish I could make it back to McCall, that crawling spot was pretty awesome and The Tekin crew is super cool. It was nice meeting you guys last summer when I was there, hope to be back for a big event there someday. |

Here is a map to the location. Looks like it could be wet We need to pick a time. I am guessing 11am or noon ready to walk up on the rocks and get started pending the weather. |

I am good with any time for meeting up. We are already here and do not have to drive So 10:30am good with everyone? This is an exploring trip to scout out lines for a real comp. People can stay as long as they like or leave anytime. I am sure we will set some courses. In fact that may be the idea to break into teams to set courses and then run them all. Sounds like a few may even be here Fri night. Last edited by Tekin Prez; 06-02-2010 at 03:32 PM. |

I plan on being there on saturday morning around 9 just to hangout and check out the location. I was thinking about going friday night but no fun camping on my own and I will probably be working late anyways. Looking forward to it though, rain or shine |

Looks rained out Most rain I have ever seen in McCall the last few days. I hear the road is closed from both sides and we cannot even get there. I have to go look obviously and I might be able to do some real rockcrawling right on the road. If anyone will be up here July 4th weekend we can pick a time then. |

That's a shame. The weather on the internet shows Sarturday being the only day without rain but if we can't get there what good is it.

is that the only place with rocks up their? How about the pit on the other side of the airport where everyone sleds in the winter? I have never been there without snow but I am sure my ass landed on a few rocks beneath the snow before |

There are rocks everywhere…. But we have really been scouting places with good parking and access for the event in the future. If anyone makes the trip post it here and I will check in tonight and in the morning. Top of lickcreek summit is also pretty cool and it will not be muddy because there is no dirt, pretty much rock as far as you can see like a moonscape. Not bad for a hike and crawl follow the leader. It is 30min from town and the road may be a mess. Tonight is suppose to be the heavy rains so everything is going to be a sloppy mess at best. We did not find many decent spots around town, but anywhere there are black rocks poking out in the forest lines can be made. Bear Basin has a lot of potential as well, but nothing compares to the park and spend the day at the cliffs we want to go to. |

like you said Jim, it might be better to postpone this. If we ever get a summer, we can put something together when you got time. Do you still plan on coming down to Boise for the Pro race w/RC hobbies? If so I will meet up with you their. Thanks for your efforts for trying to get something together for all of us city folk |

Of course it was really nice today Nicest day we have had in some time, but the road was still closed so we could not have gotten there anyway.
