I'll make a Goat Island Hang one of these days but not right now. (and not in the summer 'cause I hate to lay in my hammock and sweat).
I've had my heart set on hiking the Foothills Trail from Tablerock to Oconee over 3 or 4 weekends and that's going to be the weekends after this hang.
If all goes as planned, one of my sons will be leaving for the Army mid-November. One of the trips will be with him.
Go ahead and sign me up for the spring.
He is your friend, your companion, your defender... he is your dog. You are his life, his leader, and master. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of that devotion.
I called Devil's Fork today to check on the shelters at the day-use area for the group meals.
They are available to reserve or they are first come, first served if no one has reserved them. All of them , three I think, are available. They have to be vacated by 8:00 pm so that would knock out the dessert but we could still meet in one of them for the evening meal.

Well I guess it is time to give up trying to make this trip. I have another family commitment that weekend and I thought I could move some things around but you know how that goes... I will look forward to the pictures and hearing some good stories once everyone gets back.
Stay safe and have a great trip!
Well once again (this is becoming too much a habit) I am not going to be able to attend a hangout. This one unfortunately involves my son's health so maybe next time.
One of these days I'll attend and prove to RiceGravy I am not just a 13 year old lurking on the web!
That's just too bad Redbank.
Hope all works out well with your son.
You're doing the right thing.

Well . . . I'm depressed . . . have to leave after the girls get out of school. (Bet there some thoughts of us bailing . . . NOPE! ). I was hoping for a noon departure from Columbia but it will be closer to 3:00. Should arrive hungry with about an hour worth of setup time and then prepping dinner. Looking forward to time with family, old friends, and new friends. We'll be at sites #16 & #17, open invite to all . . . . 2 more days. . .

Sounds like a plan. Cover Dish Dessert! We are planning to eat an early dinner, around 5:30 and then I believe 6 of our 14 will be heading back to their homes. Lets say to meet around 7:30 pm. Will that work? Should be a fair amount of daylight left to prep a dessert and get it cooking before it gets dark, I would think?
Looking forward to meeting you guys.
