Now I can't get these images out of my head.

Nice post FrankPro1!

Would you mind describing the logistics of going to Scorpion Anchorage? Such as:

Weight limits on the boat ride
Gear limits
Distance from landing to campsite(s)
Campfires are allowed?
Did you take your own kayak or did you rent?

Thanks -

Greg
