Are you camping on the lake bed? Or up the road? I usually try to camp by the little 50 track someone built. Not sure the milemarker or any thing though.

prepare for the WIND... supposed to be 50 mph gusts.. good luck!

I usually camp on the lakebed. I don't know where the 50 track is but I don't know the area that well.

We will be out there. Camping on the lakebed 300 yards west of the bush

Not sure where you heard that info. All the weather sites say wind 10-20mph gusts to 30mph. High of 58 and 30% chance of showers in the afternoon.

The trails are never that windy anyway.
