Camp Buc - Road Conditions Update

Post date: Feb 5, 2010 6:12:01 PM

Dear Camp Buc Campers....

Spoke with Ranger Tim. My understanding is conditions are okay (but messy) on Hwy from NC/SC Border to gravel road (Very Messy) turn off (Upper whitewater falls rd) to Camp Buc.

The Gravel Road (Upper whitewater falls rd) into Camp Buc is very messy but passible. 4 wheel drive should be okay. 2 wheel drive you need to be Careful. If you do want to try the gravel road (a 2.1 mile drive in) you can park at the little white Church and the Ranger you or someone can come get you 4 wheel drive. You need to call Ranger Tim, Van or Me.

The verdict is ... Getting in should be okay. It's getting out that will be an issue (couple of turns up are can be tough) if you need to leave Saturday morning or even tonight. But ranger can get you out (he can pull us out).

On the way in, and if you have 2 wheel drive, remember you can always park at the Church near the entrance onto the Gravel Road (Upper Whitewater Road) and Ranger or someone will come get you. if you get concerned, take it safe.

Boys will be dissappointed if we don't go, so we're going to give it a try. If you don't come, we understand.

I'm leaving about 1:45 and 2 pm and I can report back.

Terry Rogers is on his way too.

We're still going to try Rock Face too depending on what conditions are when we get there.
