You are right sir! I usually just stay up on the ridge and take that to the peninsula between coves one and two. I have also noticed that coves one and three get more traffic than two....now sure why.

Here's a vid of me going down that hill that would be just to the right of your truck in that picture.... this is STEEP! No way I could get back up, i was scared just to go down lol. Saw a jeep snap an axle going up it one night (too much bouncing)!

Here's the aftermath of the jeep trying to go up! I just had him slide it back in and I towed him back to the parking lot. Aren't I nice? haha it was a fun adventure '

Oh, I know. Felt like having some fun though.

I tired going up and didn't get very far. Have a vid of that too but didn't feel it was worth posting

I'm there dude!

11am at the BJ parking lot - I'll be the guy in the topless, doorless blue 4Runner. I usually park over by the gate to be away from all the kids running around the parking lot.

Nothing too exciting but here's a vid I got of Jeff. Didn't do too much vid/pics this trip.

This guy brought his jetskis back to the first cove, pretty impressive to me.
