And it’s not getting easier — I highly recommend 4 wheel drive!  And of course bring a book to read or something to do during the holiday rush as only ONE lane is open and I’ve heard of long waits during Memorial Day weekend.

I’ll stick to the kayak and I enjoy the peace and quiet at the lake — I stay away during holiday weekends.
