Is the area on the flat ground on the way up the hill at Stoney Clove accessible to car camp as far as taking gear in, or is it a long way to hike from the road? Just trying to determine what and how to pack. Thanks. Only three more days till we leave.

Not terribly far. Not even five minute walk up I don't think. Hopefully you will be able to find it, and hopefully you will have ice. It's been really warm.

Five nights? And why aren't you making the extra two hour drive to get up to the dacks?
