February for the last number of years has always been Morris Mountain and it has always been absolutely jack ass cold.  Last year the Friday night camp was 25 degrees.

We changed up the February park this year in hopes that maybe the weather would change too.  We shall see.

For those that will camp, I recommend camping at one of the large open spots.  One is directly to your right as you are coming up the hill past the pay station.  The other is at the top of the entrance hill to your left.  There are no trees at these locations so you'll get more sun.

There is a nice grassy area on the East side of the RV area in front of the bath house.  Electricity if you want to run an electric heater.

Sweet.  That is a great location.  For some reason I thought that was for RV's only.  If tent camping is allowed there that is a really good spot.

Pretty sure I've done my last cold weather camping after Hale.  At least until I get my off-road trailer with Roof Top Tent built.

Last February at MM was my personal coldest camp trip at 25.  Hale took over...it was low 20's can't remember exactly. 

If it is going to be that cold I'll day trip it.  Mid 30's maybe, 40's I'm camping.

Tony, I've camped there several times in the winter months when there are typically no RVs there.  Last time was this past November.  Does Trey know we have a club ride that weekend?  Last November he even provided a big pile of fire wood for group I was with.

I talked to Trey on Monday and he knows we are coming.  I told him I would get back with him on a count to let him know the size of our group.

Their leader is good and knows the rules.   They have some wild members, but don't we all.
