EddieL,
I sponsor the 12 Hours of Tsali with my vacation home rentals and my chocolate business. Gone Riding is great business and friends. Tsali is a beautiful place. I can't get there enough and I live less than an hour from there.
I generally have a rule where I dont camp anywhere an hour or less from my home. It is just to easy to ditch when weather or things go bad. It's the same amount of prep work regardless, so when I go camping I want stay camping.
When I moved to the mountains from Florida,Tsali is the first campground to have me break my hour rule. Lol. As it was I was backpacking across Fontana Lake on Lakeshore Trail in the park. I normally race the 12 Hours but I had a gout flare up and my knee was sore plus we have had a wet spring early summer here so my training and bike time has been off.
Out of all the trails there , Thompson is my favorite with it's mile plus downhill at the end. If you get up here again, look me up ahead of time. I would be glad to turn a lap there with you..
