I'm in.

If there is interest I will bring the rosin potato cooker again this year.

I'm happy everyone liked the rosin baked potatoes! I'll pull the pot out again next year!!

Many thanks to L.D.Cates for a GREAT weekend! She went way out of her way to make the event enjoyable for all of us! Fine folks, great conversation, lovely location, excellent band, and wonderful...

[QUOTE

Taters sound good! How many can you cook at one time in your cooker?[/QUOTE]

25 max! First come....

Thinking about bringing the rosin potato cooker if there is any interest. What is the headcount up to at the moment?

ICE

I'm in! Requested access to the spreadsheet!

Ice

I have not heard any thing nor seen anything on this site about the Higher Colder Trip this year.

Ice

I'm in.... If I survive a trip to Mt Rogers the weekend before. :-)

I'm in. What weekend in June?

ICE

That was nice!

How much trouble did he have getting out on that road? Was getting bad when I left and that was much earlier that you guys.

Thanks for the hospitality this weekend. I had a great time socializing with the gang. Next year same time same place?

Who had the dog hammock this weekend?

ICE

Weather looking decent. Lows 30s and somewhat clear. Getting excited but work looking more like Friday night arrival. :-(

Great news! Be there or be square!

Ice

I was worried that I was the only 12 year old boy here. :-)

See you in the gorge!

ICE

Looks like I am in, unless I do the Roan Mountain hang that weekend. I have not been on the side of the gorge.

Looks pretty good?

Multicam silnylon monster tarp

Update:
Mountain Wilderness gear is making me a custom item. Can not wait to see it!

I have been looking at tarps and fabrics till cross-eyed today. :-) Looks like several options including this:

Looks dark to me as well. On the site it looks tan or brown.

THANKS for the pic and input!

Also looking at this:

I love stealth camping and am currently looking at WB Digital Camo and Multicam versions of the superfly. Obviously like the lighter weight on the Digicamo.

I currently have a regular green...

Trip report???

Inquiring minds.....

Who all showed up? Really sorry I missed it.

I hiked in to Apple House this afternoon to see if anyone stayed there last night. There were a few prints, but no sign of a camp.

On the bright...

I am not. I was all packed and heading up the mountain towards Carvers when I lost my clutch. It was my only 4x4. Dead in the water.

Have fun, and I am sorry about assuming this was a two night...

I'm confused. Is night two at RHK or the Overmountain Shelter?

negative 1 at 11:50 pm.

The coldest I have hung was in the Breaks a couple of years ago. 8 degrees, but was up against a wall with little wind.

If you guys pick Apple house for Friday, I might just join you there. The hike from there to RHK on Saturday will be a challenge for sure.

Ice

I own the Roan Mountain Animal Hospital if you want to stop in during the day.

I'm glad Black Wolf is safe, and looking forward to his report.

I'm putting this out to everyone just in case as a back up.

Long story short: Anyone is welcome. Hang in the forest, sleep in...

Just a quick update on current conditions. Temp 8 degrees at 10 pm and windy. I had the day off so did a short hike at this elevation (3000 feet) and it was beautiful but miserable in the wind. The...

God love him.

Current conditions: ICE. Getting thick, and I can not see it melting anytime soon from the forecast.

143 from 19-e is cleared up until that last settlement. After that all bets are off as the...

I think I will go up this Saturday just for fun.

And this:
...

They are making snow on the slopes. Temps were in the 20's with 20- 30 mile winds. Just plain miserable kind of cold.

But was not hanging, so who cares?

Ice

If the conditions are anything like today, it is going to be tough. I was on Sugar Mountain today, and it was brutal.

I have gators and do not scare easily!

Yep. I can see the top of Hump Mountain from my office.

I have not read all of the discussion yet. Are we meeting at Roan High Nob on Friday?

ICE

Thanks! Went hanging in the USVI this month followed by Big South Fork. 80 degrees to 15 degrees, seems like I need another adventure.

I ordered the system today. We will see.

Came to about $225.00 with the extra long stakes for sand use and shipping costs.

I have asked for the last site next to the beach, so if this works...

Is there a US supplier of these or something similar?

how soon will this be available in the US?

Well this kinda sucks:
