If there was such a thing as not enough time, then this would be definition of it. What a beautiful place this is with it’s remoteness and calming water. This is a must go back to.

For all the negative sayers about the road. No this trip is not for your Prius or your pristine minivan. You sound like the folks that prefer to stay clean and enjoy your first-class smooth ride in your air conditioned car to a hotel casino. You probably even hope there’s a maid there to set up your tents. This isn’t for you if you don’t want to get your hands dirty. Shoot, the whole purpose is the adventure there.

Complaining about how bad an off-road dirt trail is to get to a place away from civilization is as foolish as driving 3 hours to an all-you-can-eat lobster restaurant and ordering a cheese burger instead. That is you.

Perhaps do your research next time on where this road leads and just drive yourself to the shopping mall instead.

Leave this place to the other people that will truly appreciate it.
