I've been to Waterhouse L. with my boys. It's a great first BP trip. Its all downhill to the lake and your packs are lighter for the way out. Since it's so close it can get crowded. If it's too crowded, go up to small Adele L. There's a nice jumping rock there. As far as the road goes, we used my wife's Volvo with no problem. That was about 15 yrs ago.by cmon4day - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Quotebalzaccom The best way to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes is to stay inside a screened room or porch. A better solution to the screened room is to go backpacking in September. I've been going late summer /early fall for decades and haven't had to use repellents at all. in fact, to save weight, I have removed the bottle of Repel from my backpack.by cmon4day - General Discussion

QuoteDave Quotewherever...I'm sure that many of you were riled up by this proposal, especially the bone-head idea of discouraging bicycling on the bike paths....The rafts can go. The pools keep some people out of the river. I like the bikes and we need MORE and a bike path along South Side Drive would be great. More bikes = fewer cars. That's a good thing. +1 for more bikes.
