The challenge comes when you reach the dam. The road Y’s, right to dam office and visitor’s center and left to dam and campground. This is a true Y with no place to turn around, remember with the car behind the motorhome I cannot back up. To the right has a bridge 50 hundred yards down the road, I was not to sure I wanted to take my motorhome across. It is not a huge motorhome but is 32 feet and weighs 22,000 pounds. Left is a narrow road to the dam and campground, even has a narrow road sign. We went left. Narrow is 10 feet wide cut into the steep hillside with at least a 10% grade for the last quarter mile of a half mile stretch to the top of the dam. Just past the top is a 50 foot wide parking lot and a two door out house. At this point the narrow road continues on 3.5 miles to the campground. I could see the road cut into the hillside and after 3 or 4 minutes of looking and thinking I decided this is a good place to turn around and camp on the river. I talked to a guy in this parking lot, he said it is a scenic drive out to the campground but he wasn’t sure he would drive a motorhome out there. I unhooked the car and after jocking back and forth a couple of times I got the motorhome turned around, car hooked up and headed back down the dam in first gear. Found a great spot in the valley and on the river with enough view of the southern sky to watch SYFY’s Face Off.
