That's the reference to "stagnant pools".
Very Important!!!!!!!! READ THIS!!!!!!!!
Mule sends news from the new site. It's not working out there. Plan on the old spot at Brown Hollow.
Can someone update the coordinates and help get everyone to the correct place?
Thanks all!
Seriously?! I'm bummed.You will be sorely missed, Oms....

"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
Mule called me and told me that the 4 or 5 of them already there agreed that too many of us might get lost trying to find the new site. Chances are they were up all night looking for it themselves.
Any way in the best interest of the group the location is back to the same spot as its been for the last 2 hangs.
I grabbed this from last year's thread. Thanks Bonsai Hiker!
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 2 other trailheads:
Berry Ridge Trailhead (about a mile from Brown Hollow campsite, coordinates are close, but may not be exact, and there may not be a marked trailhead. OMS can chime in on this since he parked there last year): N39 03.740' W086 13.002.
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'
You'll be missed Mike & Ohms! I was looking forward to seeing you guys. We having to leave Friday at 3 AM, instead of Thurs. Grrrrr Hopefully the bugs aren't bad.
I like big hammocks - I cannot like.
Leaving here and heading to the hang out. I will be there by about noon, forest time. ahem... I've decided against going lightweight, so...
Yeah I'm pretty much in the same boat. This in between weather is playing havoc on my packing list. I'll probably leave my raffle stuff in the Jeep until Saturday morning do to the extra weight.
After work
Mezanus and I will be rolling into camp around sunset if all goes well save us some good trees.
Sorry mule for the late entry. Firewalker here i will be coming in on friday afternoon with My son Firetalker i will see you all for dinner.
FYI
Storms, though not severe, have cause camp to remain at Brown Hollow.
