    This is an excellent area for trying out Pulk sleds because the trails are pretty flat and without a lot of twists and turns. If you put any stock into the Farmer's Almanac.....they are caling for much more snow than last year. Hope springs eternal. Also...if you want to make your hike into camp a little longer there is another road crossing a couple of miles north on the Interloken trail with a parking area. It's flat all the way to the pine grove. You can also do the same by starting a mile or so south of the pine grove at another parking area. It's one of the nice things about this trail...there are MANY access points.

    Interesting. If it becomes an annual event I will be interested next year. Medical issues will keep me out this year.

    Look forward to the outing. Winter time I don't "hang" though , hope nobody minds. I'm a fair weather hanger.

    I'll most likely tent too if the date doesn't turn into a conflict of my other planned trips. I'll be there if it's possible in my 4 season tent.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    The site is as good for tents as it is for Hammocks....mayber better. Entire area is flat with a serious bed of pine needles. (assuming no snow)

    So far January 11 - 13 is winning in the poll by a nose. I didn't vote yet because any of those dates will work for me.

    Usually when I'm camping with a group, I find it easier to cook on my own, especially since I don't have cookware big enough for a group.

    Is there interest in trying to arrange a group feast?

    As far as I'm concerned, alcohol is allowed. I'll have a flask with me.
