Are we camping at the cave or whatever, or is it ride in/ride out one day?

Is this more like a forest service ride?

No, there are some serious challenges, and awesome river crossings if the water isn't too high.  Caves are awesome too.  River beds with rocks rocks rocks.

Finding the challenges is the challenge lol

Day ride.  Could primitive camp if you wanted to, but I wouldn't camp in the cove.  There are some strange creatures moving around out there....

@lt99ls1 Larry can tell us a lot more.  I've been 2x and both were with mild groups and no guide.

and if it comes a hard rain you might need a boat.

Lots of stuff in the cove to do, I still get turn around and lost in there.

Probably my favorite place to ride. Getting in and out of the cave takes some skill, I didn't have the cojones to take my JK in there. My last ride there 5 jeeps went in and after 2.5 hours 4 came out broke. I rented a tiny cabin about a 1/2 mile from the head of the trail. It's a time trials park for moto cross but they will rent the cabins to anyone. It has bathroom and showers on the property. Here is a link to the place, I think they only had 8-10 cabins.

Here is a pic of the cabin. Most just had a bunk bed and full bed in them and that was it

I might be down for a cabin. I have never been here, so if someone with knowledge of this place wants to help out, you are more than welcome.
