Have any of you good people, ever camped in or near Cania Gorge? As part of a northern odyssey, in a week or so, we intended to visit the Gorge for a few days and wondered if there was some inside knowledge I can get from those who have visited and camped there. I understand that it is pretty expensive and som...
