Black Wolf, that sounds terrific to me.
i'm hiking with MML and meeting my homies, so whatever he wants to do.
MML, i'm totally flexible, how does the loop sound to you?

Perrito and I are thinking about starting our hike on Thursday rather than Friday. We would leave Harper's Ferry probably between 10 and noon, then hopefully catch up with you guys at the cliffs or Ed Garvey.

Perrito and I will start pre-hike at Harper's Ferry on Thursday rather Friday.

Bear Chaser and I hope to get to Gathright on Wednesday, perhaps by noon. We might hike south a ways, stopping in time to make camp comfortably before dark. Thursday we'd continue south, make camp, and maybe do a dayhike in the direction of HF. I expect to carry a fair amount of water, but we may be able to catch rainwater off our tarps. Friday morning we'd hustle back to Gathright. All subject to change, of course.
