I would prefer camping at the camp ground...my wife isn't that keen on camping without plumbing. I have to ease her into the offroading/camping/outdoors. We've been married about 4 months, and I'd hate to get a divorce so soon
Ribs sound incredible...a nice low and slow cook...Sno...I am down with that for sure.
The reason I'm in for the campground is, with kids, the convenience of a toilet/bathroom and because the grounds are setup very nicely in the Arrowhead campground...AND there are hiking trails right off the campground for my family.
I forsee the schedule being:
Friday: Get there, setup, do a night run for those that make it (probably start around 7PM, get back by 10PM).
Saturday: Start trails at 9AM, get back to campground around 12-1PM for lunch (at which time, I will be dropping of the family for them to go hiking, etc), then back out to run the trails a different way AND finish up the trails we didn't hit the first time around. Then 5PM, we do a group'ish dinner.
Sunday: Everyone will part ways (we will probably be leaving around 8-9AM to try and get home by 10AM so we can get cleaned up and such)
