Excellent!
That makes room for 16 people and four Avs.. think they will notice a few more? This all makes for a real good time!

Av'n It,
Todd
 
Paul - are you going to hook up with us to go North?

that's such an awesome idea !  we don't live that far from ya so if u're up for some late night marshmallows, we'd like to stop by and say hi one of the nights u're in town, or just have the campers over to our house for some home cooked food...  pm me if u're interested in either option :)

when are you leaving on thursday?
We planned on leaving very early Friday morning to beat traffic and have the whole day ahead of us for food shopping, setting up, etc.
I really like that camper you put on your AV. What did that run you and is it easy to install?
 
It was already on it when I got the truck with only 1,600 miles on it.
somebodys financing must have not gone thru.
search snugtop there is quite of few who have them. the biggist loss is that it sits on the lids of the side boxs so unless you cut into the bed and put marine
hatches it is wasted space.
 
We better get started on those Marshmallow guns.......
Make room for me around the campfire.....I'll sign up for the S'more fixins.. :cool:
 
I just reserved spot #9 in the Beal Campsite..... :cool:
Just in case anyone is in need of staying overnight....
 
Very COOL! Is the Lake boatable swimable. I have a inflatable tandem kayak I'll bring if so. Relax on the water during hot day! :B:
 
They mentioned that there was wi-fi at a life guard tower so I would assume ther is definitly swimming

The Kidlets and I headed over to Beals Point in Folsom yesterday and today.  I can not believe we have not been here before, it was awesome!  I brought along the camera to take pics for this thread....
To answer the questions: At Beals Point there is a boat ramp, more for the smaller fishing boats.  There is a great beach which is bouyed off with a life guard. There is a snack bar and boat/rafts/waverunners/beach balls, etc. for rent. It is very clean and family oriented.

The water is great, swimmable. The bottom is level, which means you can walk out quite a ways, no sudden drop off. It is for the most part sandy bottomed.
