Sorry I did not mean to sound like I'm taking anything out on people here. I have a popup camper, we've been to Sly Park, Ice House, New Malones among others. I'm trying to find a hike like I did once up at Redwoods State Park near Orick. It was less than one mile each way, but it was steep. Anyone know of an area where we can drive in close and maybe walk about 1 mile with our gear, then camp overnight? Also what about other threads on this board? Perhaps another site? I'm also considering carrying my son's gear or just have him use a day pack. Between my wife and I we could carry the heavy items. I saw a young guy followed by a girl who only had on a day hike pack. He must have had all their gear. Maybe that would work out so he could go? Thanks.
