If we are looking for a site for, let's say 70 campers, we can use Buck Lake and better utilize the spur trail to the FT for hanging sites. This would be on the left side of the lake, clockwise, away from the campfire area. It may be a little hike for breakfast, but then some may enjoy being away from all the action.
MLK long weekend is Jan 13-16. That would be Friday-Monday. Presidents weekend is Feb 17-20.
Flackfizer, if you are so inclined, if there is a small group that will investigate various sites based on the group input, count me in.
Based on last year, we need to keep an eye on hunting season, being centrally located to main highways for out of state hangers, and having enough area for everyone to feel comfortable in their hammock.
A shrimp boil could be on the menu again, if there is any interest. But I cannot wait for the gumbo!!
