[at-l] Standing Indian Campground loop hike

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

Trailwind -

My brother and I did the exact same hike two years ago in April.  It's a 
great one.  Kimsey is kind of a climb but the rest is fairly easy IMHO.

Can't tell you about the road conditions.  I don't recall it being a 
particularly difficult drive in, so I presume it should be passable even this 
time of year (those more local may have different thoughts).  The parking was 
fine as far as I remember - the campgrounds is very near but I don't know if 
anybody is manning it this early in the year.
