Well, maybe the campfire video will make the censor cut, and more enlightenment regarding our new member, cookie coon, will be forthcoming.

Seriously, the Shaffer clan had a blast; I think Daniel...

Wonders never cease; our order came in yesterday, so we spent last night making another PLUQ, doling out the food, and configuring the new pack. If it is possible to over plan this thing, I think we...

Plan B works for us. ETA Parking Lot #8 on Friday is ~1630. I had both maps printed anyway. It will all be new to us, seeing rain, and pine trees. I am fed up with fed ex though, (And Sportsman's...

Certainly, if you have the room and don't mind. I am hoping our order comes in, also, it is good to discipline yourself to bringing a smaller amount of items.



The charcoal makes sense. We were...

We are so looking forward to this trip!

We went to the valley nearby and set up our gear to give it a try; one thing we see as an issue for us "newbie" backpackers is getting all your stuff to...

Still count us in. A little smoke never hurt anyone...but we would be up for a plan B also. Sarge, were you taking PMs of contact info? We will be leaving early Friday, and doing the college visits...

Somehow the orange "took" hat reminds me of the red cockaded woodpecker...

I am trying to replicate one of those cooksets; I have some extra Imusa cups in both 12 and 10 CM sizes, and got lids through the PIF. I will bring along my box of junk.:D We can share ideas and...

What are the insect prospects for this area? Bringing bugnets, just in case.

If you want to toss it in; I have a new pack on order, and will be making UQ's out of two poncho liners coming on order. (But you never know...) Right now they are on schedule to be delivered today...

We'll stay Sunday night, but leave that Monday morning. Arriving Friday Afternoon.

Sure Cave,

We did a freeze out camping trip the weekend of Jan 25-26, with one son and myself hanging, and the other bushwacking on the ground. got down to 22 degrees...still kept our toes, but...

Klane, it would be good to meet up. Regardless of all the joking :) You will be surprised that we can talk endlessly about our gear setups. FYI, I have made all my hammocks, and this will be the...

Now that is cool, I can see my afternoon and evening wasting away fiddling with this...Can I borrow your starting point as a list, Sarge?

Somewhere in this pile of junk is a gram scale...not that...

Lucky you, with a Kroger's :) I am basically living off the land here in Memphis, with the local affiliated foods,Thriftway.

Also, I have a brand new "in the box" sawyer squeeze, and Daniel has one of those water filter things in a squeeze bottle. I need to set up Wesley with a PLUQ, and some sort of backpack to carry it...

You've got to be joshing; habitat for the endangered red cockaded woodpecker? Sounds like someone is sending you on a snipe hunt...

Anyway, my boys and I are planning to come, and since they are...

The chicken yard isn't safe when there's a weaseal around...

I got some with chickens on 'em, too.

Hey Folks,

I am trying to get this in with a coordinated trip to visit a couple of colleges with my sons. (17 & 14) Looks like the trailhead parking lot is about a 7 hour drive from my location....
