That's OK Craig.
It's a very basic map, not to scale.
For example, from Dyson Drive to the Carngham turnoff into Snake Valley is about 25k
From the Snake Valley General Store to the Camp is about 3k

That's not good. wish we could "inject" a column of hot air and move the clouds aside just above the campsite :-)
after 2 cloudy nights at IISAC, was hoping for clear skies at my next camp, still hoping..

hi Ken, would there be an approximate street number I can enter into my GPS (I'm hopeless with navigation and am a slave to my GPS!!).
3k's from the general store is approximately 552 Carngham Linton Rd in google maps. is it around Lawrence Dr/Carngham Linton Rd?

Grass mowed? Security light will be off? What else is on the "to do" list for the camp site, Ken?

I doubt he has mowed the grass yet considering it's been pouring rain for the last week, but yes he assures me the light will be out.
