    FL>LWRSF, Isabelle Ck> Nov.11-13, Grinder's B-day Hang

    Time to get our regular season started with Grinder's Birthday Hang. This year Grinder wanted to go to Isabelle Creek. As usual on these hangs it's a BYO/HYO or plan on providing for yourself type hang. Looking forward to reconnecting with old and hopefully some new friends while sitting around a fire at one of the best campsites in LWRSF. I plan on doing a bit of exploring south on the Florida Trail Loop to the tram road and west to Isabelle Creek on Saturday. Other than that just a laid back easy weekend in the woods.

    The trails on the map are:
    Blue= marked trail
    Red = road, sandy
    Pink = unmarked shortcut, this is the way samsara lead us in the first time.
    Yellow = Tram Road, will probably not be open
    Light Blue = Trail to Isabelle Creek

    10 to 12 vehicles can be parked at Lake Godwin. Other parking at sites along School Bus Rd if longer hikes in are desired.

    No doubt about it, I'll be there.

    I'll need some trail time after this weekend of trying to marry off my daughter during a Category 4 hurricane! :Yikes:

    I've got the time off for Friday, but not sure if I can make it to hang, but will be out on Saturday just to sing Happy Birthday to Grinder and say hello to everyone!

    I'm planning on making this hang. It will be good to see everyone again and it's been a while since I was hanging.
