Not in 22 years!  We made our first multi-week (2 weeks) Westy camping
trip there in 1993.  It was a great trip.  We learned a lot about living
in close quarters, expectations, and making it fun for everyone.  It's a
beautiful area.

Saw the scariest apparatus for working under vehicles ever there:
primitive home-made ramps on the side of the hill straight off Mead Cove
Road north of Black Point, IIRC.  The level wheel ramps were made of what
looked like 2x8s which were staked to the ground on one end and attached
to trees about 6 feet off the ground on the other.  From there it was
maybe 200 foot drop down to the shore on the edge of the Laurentian
Trough. I would not ever walk out on them, much less drive a vehicle on
them.

Have fun,
Ed
