Scion camping trip!
So, up at the FoF Show last Saturday, Dave, Erik, and I were talking about a Scion campout before summer is over. I'm thinking if we could get it planned soon, it'd be a helluva good time. So, anyone have any camp spot connections? or some secret spot we could get on short notice? I have kids, and a prissy wife that needs running water and a half way modern bathroom facility, so a place with those would be great. But if not, than it'd be just me an my older son, which would be cool also. Just throwing this out there, if someone wants to pick it up and run with it, go for it!

My cousin has a house at Ocean Park, other side of the freeway from the beach. 2 bedrooms, 2 hide-a-beds, plus floor space. She just asks that it is cleaned and laundry done before you leave. I could give her a call and see if it is available any time soon.

Yeah, my only issue is space, or lack thereof. If it was farily close, i'd bring both cars, since mine won't haul much. but that far, i'll probably go solo, which is cool. Whatever works for the most people, I'm pretty flexible (not like bendy, so don't get any funny ideas....)

Fort Stevens is cool and has good camping support , Showers and Stores in the area. Don't know if we are going but as already mentioned the weather is changing fast . 
Let's decide quick .... Not to much time left this year .
