That sounds perfect! My wife got us reservation to the "Hike Inn" on April 1 (FOOLS DAY) and we were already planning to hand somewhere close the weekend before.... I will keep an eye on this thread for sure, and let ya know.Originally Posted by otter

Soon I'll lose these rags and run, Returning to the wild where I'm from. -Chris Whitley
In pending date
Calendar marked...
I've never been to the Cohuttas, but I've been itching to correct that. I am tentatively in!
How does one reach Panther Creek Falls? How long is the hike? Where does one park? I'm kinda new to the area.
"The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
~Bilbo Baggins - LotR

God gave me two good legs and two good eyes I better use them.
That will work for me! I will put it down.
FYI, The 31st is Easter Sunday, so I might go in on the 29th and come out the evening of the 30th.
Didn't think of that would you guys have any rejections about moving it up to March 23 & 24 due to Easter?

That would be fine with me, I didn't think about it being Easter until I was writing it on the calender.
