Might be safer to park a car a little south of golden pond down at the intersection of I think it is 24 maybe where the pop machinces are seemed to be people stopping there alot while we were there it is not too much past Golden Pond and the Poweraid was a great refresher.

I am olny going to be able to go that far I'll have to get back to work on Monday.

Near Buzzard Wing Spring.

Hopefully there won't be any rain.

I think I can get Fifthmaster to cater at least one night, prolly Saturday. The road crosses right by Buzzard Wing Spring so he could set up somewhere near there.
