Thinking about making the drive from Portland this Friday and was wondering if it was worth the trip?

How is it down there?
What to look out for?
Good camping anywhere?

Is it worth the drive or should I go to Manzanita instead? The winds just looks so much better further south.

Anyone else want to go?

Thanks,
Bob

heya bob,
well, what to say about floras lake?: great camping up in the trees just off the lake @$12/night, bring quarters for the shower, fairly steady winds best in the morning, shallow lake and lee-shore downwind for landing the kite for those walking back upwind, great wave action nearby at 7-devils. about the only negative besides the hump down there is the lake is faily small, lots of back-and-forth.

as of this posting, ikitesurf is calling for nuclear conditions (mid- to upper- 20's thurs, fri and sat, leveling off somewhat on sunday.) bring your small kites.

i will likely be there on thursday afternoon if the current forecast holds-look for a balding guy with a diaper walkng back upwind (sort of paints a picture doesn't it?) oh well, farm the ground you're standing on.
