Kilts are not mandatory to attend this hang. This will be an overnight trip Saturday to Sunday. I will be out there Friday evening to get in a few extra miles, those wanting to join me message me for details. Make sure you are hydrated before you come out. Many of us hike at different paces so make sure you are able to read your map and navigate using a compass to meet up with the team at a rest point or camp or buddy up with someone that can. I will be bringing my walkie and it will be set on channel 5. The trip will begin at the trail at Rock Bridge on Rock Bridge road. Well will follow Swift Camp Creek trail across pavement to follow Rough Trail where it intersects with Koomer Ridge trail. IF time is on our side we will venture out to Angel Windows before hitting Rough trail. We will need vehicles at Koomer Ridge, Rock Bridge, and Wildcat trailheads. Many of the views/points of interest will be at the beginning and the end of the trip.
What is CC bringing for the group? S'mores
