Nope, we are not going into one of the Parks. I had considered it but the trail I was thinking about I did 2 weeks ago with the family. We had 3 vehicles all of them with lockers and decided the hill was just not doable without some risky strapping in other words dangerous, for close to stock vehicles.
So dogs are not a problem unless you don’t trust them next to overhanging cliffs .

i apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread for this. but is everyone staying at pack creek? or are some staying at portal?
mainly, where are the campers with dogs staying?
tom where are you staying with your dogs? (i think i remember you having 2 dogs).....
I think all this depends on when you are getting there. There is quite a group staying at the portal.

OK here is what we are going to do.
We are going to host a pot luck dinner at Pack Creek Campground on Tuesday evening. Everyone is welcome and invited including the non VX ‘ZuZoo bunch. This was Giggling Grammys idea. If you don’t know who she is follow this link http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...97775203170725 We are going to provide the Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and buns BYO vegetarian burgers because Linda and I are not vegetarians but we do not want to offend or exclude anyone. You guys are going to provide the rest of the stuff. Salads, veggies, fruit, tomatoes to slice, chips, paper plates, onions to slice, Deserts, Drinks (alcohol approved if you have a designated driver ) otherwise coke, sprite , Apple Beer etc. and anything else you want to provide.
There is a small pavilion at Pack Creek that should fill our needs but we can spill out to our campsite as well as others in our groups that are staying there. I will have a small grill but it would help if others have one or two or three that we could utilize otherwise you might have to wait.
I think this will be a great opportunity to get to know each other and mingle the evening after our VX run. We are also going to do awards and prizes associated with the days run. Tests will be graded and driving ability judged to determine the winners. Everyone is expected to be present. No awards or prizes will be awarded to absent participants. Must be present to win!
Oh there is a 10 PM quiet curfew but since there are early trails the next morning this should not be a problem. This will be strictly enforced.
Please respond with what you are going to bring so we don’t have a lot of duplicates.

Sounds like a great idea! I will bring paper plates and forks.
PBkid, I'm staying at the Portal. They do allow dogs and they have a lot of room with a couple of ponds for your dogs to go romping. I'm leaving Champ at home this year.
Peace.
