When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.
Nice Temps in the teens too.
Looks very windy, but that camera is at the office across from the toll booth & is on a fairly open mountain side.
But about 1000' lower in elevation than our camp site I believe.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
!16* here and gust to 29 Windchlll around -15 if my calculations are right. We have about 4" of snow and I am at 2640 ft asl.

12 days to go for those coming Friday.
There is still snow on the ground & it did snow just a bit last night Meaning we will have a "winter wonderland" to play in.
IF you just want to come for Saturday (bring food ), that is OK too. That will give you a chance to see the other winter set ups & meet the crazy people who camp in hammocks in the winter. Some of us even cook on the dreaded "You can't use those in WINTER! " Alcohol stoves. We can show you how to do that too.
See you all there!!

"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
Accuweather's extended forecast for Whitetop, VA shows Thursday getting above 40 next week. The lows look to be in the lower teens most of that weekend. Don't forget your sunscreen!
I've had a multiple things come up that are going to keep me from going this year.
You guys have a blast!
Looking forward to the pictures and stories!
With warmer weather forecast for Thursday, I'm concerned about the possibility of rain, so will plan accordingly. Shug's amazing trip report referenced on another thread is such a goldmine of information that I thought I'd mention it here.
Add two to the list
Shane
Mcgarry
Coming up Friday night. Looking forward to a summit attempt, or failing that, a pitcher at Dot's.
Looks like it's going to be fairly clear, very cold with a few flurries.
