Hey everyone!

Listen - if you use a GPS to get to Smithwoods, it will take you on a very narrow and scary road with a tough turn in to the park.  Go to the Smithwoods website and find where they tell you the best way to approach the park.  It involves taking the 17 NORTH...here is the quote:

We recommend travelers coming in from Highway 1                              (CA-1) take Highway 17 (CA-17) to Mount Hermon Road.                              Follow Mount Hermon Rd to Graham Hill Road and then left                              on Highway 9 (CA-9).

Once you go this way, your GPS will readjust and bring you in correctly.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

No We did not but went to SC that way to see what i was like..glad we went the way Smithswood says..once you get on Mt. vernon it should recalulate itself and send you the rest of the way.

IT's absolutely beautiful here

Cant wait to get there.  I have a Dr. appt at 820am and then we will hit the road.  The trailer has been shoveled out restocked and she is ready to go.
I couldn't find anywhere where it said the check in time.  Also, is the park bike friendly?

Well we can't wait.

 Let me know if there is someone in our site on fri night/ sat morn they might let us check in early if its empty.

Jacqui, you just didn't look hard enough, Post Number 372 says the check in time is 2:00pm.

From what I remember, the park is bike friendly, and I will be bringing bikes for my three boys so they can keep themselves occupied riding around the campground.

[OC Campers]

Thanks Kevin.  I thought I read that somewhere, but I just wasn't willing to look That hard:p:D

We will be bringing the boys' bikes then.  

See ya'll there

We are shooting for an arrival time of early afternoon on Friday.  That should give us plenty of time to unload and get back down to Santa Cruz to pick-up the firewood.  The firewood place closes at 5pm and appears to not be open on the weekends.  Counting down the minutes to departure.  See you all soon!!!

[Dee4j]

Yes bikes are good..dieter not sure yet on Ur question didn't pay much attention but only in the 70's

glad to be here & very thankful for Fed ex. When I arrived at Flying flags yesterday I had no wallet!! Dan fed ex me my DL, debt card, COSTCO card and insurance cards..they got here before I did. Luckily I had cash in my purse. just weird to be so far away from home with No ID and a little cash

all settled in just waiting for You all to get here

oh BTW we did take the 101 nice very nice temps about 70 deg. makes it nice when U have 2 stop

just [COLOR="Red"]BEWARE[/COLOR] 101 from Buellton almost to Santa Cruz was INFESTED with CHP (both sides)

they even pull up along side DK&3kids and looked like they were checking out their hitch
