Yes, good plan.
Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
What night were folks planning moving to the hill? Or is just a planned hike?
Saturday.

Awesome must have missed that.
Coordinates and Maps
Here is a re-post from 5 years ago, for those that like topo maps and GPS coordinates. This will get you to both Brown Hollow and Browning Hill.
The trails are marked in red. I made a mistake the first time I traced the trail (not having been there) and that line is marked with "x's." From the North Trailhead, go to waypoint #4, turn left and follow the trail down to the campsite (marked "C#1" on map) at Brown Hollow. The next morning, re-trace trail back to waypoint #4, turn left, and follow the trail through waypoints 5, 6, and 7. The other red trail heading East, then South from waypoint #5 is the Nebo Ridge Trail heading to the South trailhead.
Anyway, here are the coordinates:
1: N39 04.757' W086 14.920' (North Trailhead)
2: N39 04.375' W086 14.708' (Top of Wilkerson Hill)
3: N39 04.202' W086 14.665' (Stay on trail to left)
4: N39 04.204' W086 14.488' (Brown Hollow is down trail to left or stay to right to go to Browning Hill)
C#1: N39 04.099' W086 13.491' (Brown Hollow Campsite--this is NOT located off a little spur trail to the East as I drew on the map, but about the same distance to the West on the trail shown, in the next draw west of that spur. However, there were some nice campsites located on that spur.)
Next morning, re-trace steps up hill to waypoint #4, then go to #5:
5: N39 03.801' W086 14.600' (Junction of Combs Road--CROSS ROAD through small campsite and follow small trail to rear on the right. Stay away from small trail leading back to Combs Road on left side of campsite. Junction with Nebo Trail South-bound is a few hundred yards before arriving at Combs Road from the North.)
6: N39 03.726' W086 15.342' (Just before junction with another trail heading back to left. Stay to right--not a big deal on way to Browning Hill but you can miss this intersection (or get mighty confused) on way back.
7: N39 03.808' W086 15.988' (Fire pit in center of the stonehenge on Browning Hill--You Made It!)
Other coordinates for the South Nebo Ridge Trailhead:
South Nebo Ridge Trailhead (about a 6-7 mile hike to Brown Hollow, passes right by Berry Ridge Trailhead): N39 01.106' W086 14.533'
OK, that should get you there! The trails are clear but unmarked, so you have to pay attention and it would be best to stick with someone familiar with the area.

"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience...." --Robert Traver
I still have your original map, Bonsai.
Ambulo tua ambulo.
The pond on the hill i would expect to be clean, with all the rain we have had....then again, last time i was there it was pretty nasty.
I have several bladders, I may fill up at the hollow and cart it up. My pack is a nice 18 pounds this year.
The only Easy day was yesterday.
Yea you never know. I thought that last weekend until I can up over the hill and scared off about 15 duck-like birds, not sure what they were. Regardless, you know there were poopin and whatnot in there. Pretty nasty stuff!
Here is my map:

Finally remembered to go and update the spreadsheet, enjoy!
