What is there out at the camp grounds? Are there bathrooms? This will be my first excursion of this type, is there anything that I should remember to bring? I wanna be prepared, so it turns out to be a great weekend.
I'm heading down from Fort Worth in my bobbed deuce and m105 trailer. I'll be heading down around 10:30-11am. Anyone else heading south out of Fort Worth. It'd be nice to get in a convoy, since this is my first long trip in the deuce. I don't foresee any issues, just want to be on the safe side..
