Deal made tonight. Thanks all.
It comes with about 60 AT miles included. Does not smell of cheese steaks or deep fried pirogies.
...and it did not even rain that night. My brother came out for our AT hike but in the packing in Florida somehow we left the spare Maccat. That called for a trip the nearest outfitter near...
Some almost embarassing self promotion here, but I had conversations with more than a few folks about this and I said I would let everyone know when it was out. Well, it is out, and here is the...
Great Pics skunkape! Let's get the families together for a woods weekend soon!
What the hell was going on Chuck?? I once got hit by a car that ran a stop sign (my only accident thank heaven) and then they tried to give me religious pamphlets! It was like they were targeting me!
This is great! How did I get blurry? Was I blurry all weekend? Why did no one tell me...?
Great--thanks and we are on it. These things happen!
I am noticing that I may have left a well-used titanium Snow Peak 1400 pot somewhere in the main camp area. If you saw it and rescued it, PM me and I will arrange a return home trip for the poor...
Thanks again to all our vendors and craftspeople who built up the raffle. The raffle builds our stock of funds that cover next year's needs like camp fees and fire woods etc. Each gift is an act of...
Seconding good words on Olddog. If Olddog does near the top your list of greatest people on earth, then I really want to see that list! Olddog--for our emerging community you are a mainstay, a role...
Just getting home but wanted to say a quick thanks once again to everyone who came out and made FH3 a triumph. We are going strong and it is all thanks to you. More to follow.
We will miss you this weekend Sunny, but we won't stop bugging you to come out sometime or other. Hang in there and we will see you soon!
While I was away in the UK my department scheduled a meeting for me at 1 on Friday! That means I won't be there on Thursday night as I had planned. Just a bit later though so save Bearfinder and I...
I have the same list as last year, but I have not landed on a supplier yet. I don't think poor Tommy Firewood from Palatka will be our dealer this year though! and yes, at least a cord for sure.
I am still laughing over this! We are the worst crowd to make a cord of wood error with. I will never forget poor innocent Tommy from Palatka unloading a half a cord and in all innocence saying "i...
DIRECTIONS too! I 75. Exit 93. East on Rt 40. South on Rt 19. Right (back westward) on a small dirt road with the sign Buck Lake Campground then second left to the lake. There will be signs of our...
The curtain parts. Trumpet fanfare blares. A man in a tabard steps out and unrolls a scroll. After clearing his throat he announces…
Hear Ye Hear Ye—Attention one and all…
We are pleased and...
We had to fight to get the tests done, but we managed to find a doctor willing to do the Lyme Disease test. Bearfinder had eight out of ten bars, meaning he tested super positive. We dont think this...
We are hoping, watching, and not giving up until the very last second.
The Bearfinder's knee has swollen up to the size of a grapefruit. It may be a reaction to some medication he is taking, but no one is sure yet. We will know more after some testing. Meanwhile, I am...
I think we stay in Sumter by and large--especially on the north side. Even so, I doubt we are going to build any giant white man fires. But, a word of caution in advance is indeed a worthy thing....
cold **** night tonight! These swings make it hard to take a good guess.
lol--I was not thinking of water supplies--I had bugs on my mind!
This map is great. It highlights the fact that Day 2 for us takes us southward through the wetter areas.
Does kind of make you wonder.....
I'll send you a small jar of mosquitoes and tannic water just to complete the at home experience.
We will be there weds or thurs with an eye towards an extra 10 or more miles. We were quietly planning that all along. I was thinking of just doing a loop, but I am very interested to know if there...
Some images to help
1. Area map with SR 50 Cortez Rd marked from I75....
If you just head north on the Blue Blaze from the fire tower parking lot, you will find us. Our "traditional spot" is right on the trail, maybe a 1/4 mile along. No big deal. The Blue Blaze trail...
I had the same thought the other day--****, it is hot for this time of year!
We do have a charm don't we!
Well, there is near the water, and then there NEAR the water. I don't think skeeters will be a big problem, but we don't need to invite trouble!
As the map shows it, somewhere between Pole Bridge Rd and the C6 site. These "roads" as just sugar sand track though.
The place I was thinking is in fact somewhere between the C6 trail leg and the southward turn away from the river. I just remember a great little spot right along the trail--no undergrowth, pine...
I should add, the area I am thinking of is before Blue Sink. I camped out there once and I remember it well--mosquito hell--but it was August. I recall though that when I came to the area I am...
It all comes down to the river. We don't have to (and probably don't want to) hang right at it, but close enough to send water parties will be fine. There is a nice stand of pines and low trees (if...
Here is the Richloam Area Map. We are doing the north loop, part of which is on the Blue Blaze, the rest on the Orange FT. The Friday Night Spot is along that BB stretch marked "0.5" just above the...
I will scan up my map and post it. It is pretty easy though. We can just cross the road from the parking lot and head down the Blue Blaze until we hit Orange, and then turn left. That route will take...
Very glad to hear it.
The general rule is to stay away from coated as it will become slippery with sweat. I use coated on the lower (outward facing) layer of my DIY UQ, and some people worried that even that would be...
lol--We'll put you on the top of next year's list!
We are well within reality to claim 70-80, as long as we don't let it creep up too close to 100. I think though that we can safely claim a roughly 30% increase over last year, and that is very...
Brilliant!~
We never got an official number, but I counted 75 heads in the main area during the raffle, so that is my count.
18 bucks on ebay--free shipping. Expect to see a few in the raffle next year!
Hey all--here is a hastily edited event video with my wife and I playing fiddle and banjo as requested. Hope it pleases.

ooooooooooh....knife porn!
Just my plan as well. The north loop takes us right on that trail as well--we can either walk out to where we turned south last year (this time turning north) or head back up the trail to the Friday...
March 17-18, North Withalacoochee loop? If that works I will post it and get onto the water side of the game.
