I've never been to Stony on Thanksgiving weekend but I know it gets crowded. If we roll into Davis Flat late Friday morning, is there going to be room for us to set up camp? We'll have an RV, a trailer and a bunch of trucks.

The last time I was there on a holidy weekend was Presidents Day weekend and Davis Flat was pretty much full.

not! there should only be 10,000 people or so ahead of you. I went last year on Saturday and could barely park my truck. The hot ticket would be to have a friend who was going up earlier in the week to make his camp a "little" wide leaving you room to get you in.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. We're screwed.

When I was there for President's Day weekend, it was pretty crowded, but there was room to park. I think the only reason it wasn't completely full was because most of the trails were still snowed in and a lot of people stayed home.

I almost don't want to go, the trails will be packed and I don't need to be getting into a head on.

Try venturing away from the whooped out OHV parks. Chances are you will see no one and gett o ride s trail w/o a whoop or breaking bump. Who knows you might like it.

I'm sure it will be crowded, but I'll bet only half of what was there last year. There is a reason gas is back down.

I did Stony on Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. What a nightmare. Last year I did Downie. Chased two fresh tracks for awhile and saw one local coming up to the Buttes on a loop. COLDER than a coal miners crotch but warmer than a witches nipple. Fun though.
