MO HANG 7 - Hawn State Park - February 8-9

[Disco]

I'm back in the saddle again! Time to get out in the woods after a long hiatus.
Let's explore the many trails in one of the most beautiful parks in the state.
Let's hope for some snow that will make the Pickle Creek trail even more beautiful.
Plan to hike just a few miles each day on this trip, so you can bring some luxury items.
We'll meet in the parking lot at the Whispering Pines Trailhead at 10am on Saturday morning. I have a nice off-trail place for us to hang, then we can hike the rest of the loop Sunday morning.

I'm traveling on the 9th so I'm out for this one, however, I might grab some of the kids and join you for a day hike on Saturday. Well see how the schedule looks as we get closer.

Thanks for the p m,I've had you on my mind alot lately.
Hope the career change has been kind to you.
Looking forward to a chance to hike with you again.

Gideon, I hope you can hike with us Saturday, that'd be great.

Hairbear, thanks...I'll sure have a lot to share on that subject. I'm looking forward to hiking with you all again too.

I do to Disco; Hawn remains one of my favorite all time places. it wasn't too long ago that I took my two youngest daughters on a day hike there. We did the south loop (I think ) which is about 6 miles. It was a long hike for them but they did great. Weather was good and we took our dog. Stopped and put up three hammocks so we could take a nice lunch break. It was great except that there wan't any water in the little creek that runs along the one trail before you get to the campground.

I should be able to get out there for a bit, just have to make sure I have my bags packed for my trip.

And I double checked my calender this time to make sure I got it right

So I thought of something fun/interesting for us to do on this trip. We've had the stove and gear exchanges already...this time I thought we could do a show and tell of sorts. Bring a piece of gear or something related to the outdoors that is special, interesting, sentimental, etc. and tell us about it. Tell us the story behind the item and why it is special to you.

Good news (for me at least) Germany just changed the dates for my business travel so I should be able to make it now; I suspect Pyro will as well but he'll have to check his social calender.

Interesting idea Disco...I'll have to think about that one!
