Starting the Campfire
I really didn't care for the parking lot view, but it was a drive in spot, and it was right on Cheney Pond.

While ultimately I decided it was passable with my 4x4 truck, I used caution, as I saw this other guy backing out with his 2x4 Silverado and was afraid he'd get his truck stuck here.

Cheney Pond
Cheney Pond Road is a dirt road off of Boreas Road, about 15 miles east of Newcomb. It is a rough road, with the pass year’s washouts, don’t try it without a truck. It will take you a rather pretty lake and damed up river you can paddle around.

And now down as Cheney Pond…
If you want to spend the night, you can roadside camp at a site with a picnic table and outhouse, tent camp at an “informal” campsite with a fire pit near the lean-to or camp in the lean-to. None of the campsites at Vanderwhacker Wild Forest have “Camp Here Disks”.
Heading out on the lake in the kayak…
