Should be a lot of fun! Especially if we have the same weather as we did on the scouting trip!

Here's an aerial of the spot we're thinking about. Brandon and I are the two vehicles near the shore. As he mentioned, we tried the original location which was within the OHV park boundaries. The spot itself was awesome, but a little sketchy if we wanted to get to a spot that accomodates 10-ish vehicles and escaping the noise from nearby dirt bikes. We found this spot across the bay which is approx 300 yards from the public boat launch. Not really "escaping" civilization, but we're camping by water with mountain views. There's also a number of places we can explore on Saturday, so I'm proposing a choose your own adventure. Below are a few options near basecamp to explore.
Pinkham Falls - Approx 5 miles from camp (not sure what the road conditions are to get there)
Blue Lake - Approx 30 miles from camp
Douglass Hill OHV Park - this was our original camping spot. There are plenty of trails and sandy beaches to explore.
Our campsite also has some hiking trails nearby if you don't want to drive.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Looks like good weather, maybe an occasional sprinkle and a slight breeze.
I'm gonna try and bring my cargo carrier with a good amount of firewood. I've called the Libby Ranger office and we're good to have a fire as long as we build a fire ring, and disperse it after we're done.

I know we’ll have a number of people joining later on Friday due to work. Our campsite is a few hundred yards from the boat launch in Rexford, MT. Our group will try to snag the more desirable location which will easily accommodate 10 rigs. You’ll have full cell signal, so if you need to get ahold of anyone in the group, that shouldn’t be an issue.
