Reaching way back to 1971, our young family traveled the skyline Drive, using our Auto Club of So. Cal. Indian Country map in a ragtop 1966 Toyota FJ40 pulling a jeep trailer. Then it was just a forest road that had not yet been graded. We had one camp along the route in a tent, of course. Mosquitos were just coming out in their ravenous initial pursuit of blood. It was the first week of June on a heavy snow year and we did indeed need 4WD to traverse the mud bogs and occasional snow drifts. This was 30 years, a whole lifetime before we became one of those rabid XTC truck campers of which Dan speaks. Google earth gives a pretty good impression of what it's like now. The area does have it's charm. If you plan on going after the summer solstice, I would not hesitate pulling or carrying a smaller RV. BTW, the place was deserted in 1971. I"m sure it has been discovered by more than RV-er's by the looks of all those ATV-only trails.
