Re: CANCELLED Guys Hut Camp v2.0, April 30th & May 1st 2022

From memory there is only one small creek crossing, everything else is bridged.

That might happen, but in June or July, if there is a dump of snow, would just be a drive to Licola then up to Horseyard Flat to camp, most of the sidetracks being closed.
