I'm mildly interested. I'll just have to see what I have going on when it gets closer.
It's been 20 years or more since I last went there.
I was there over the weekend for Hog Rock (motorcycle rally) beautiful area. I think ok busy that weekend but I will keep in touch in case I can make it.
I live in southern Illinois. I'm down for a hike and hang.
How far are you planning on hiking in?
ok let me know..

IM just playing by ear.. hike as far as i feel.Quote:

Looks like the plan is to hike the Garden of the Gods loop, then head down the Indian Point loop and camp there. Saturday we will hike down the River to River trail for a few miles, then head back on Sunday.
I found this video of the Indian Point loop. Pause at 1:55, that looks like a great place to set up camp!
Great vid!!! Should be good.
You get the 2 trees in the foreground:DQuote:

Would like to join in on this hang. Looks like a cool place. I wouldn't get there until later Friday evening... I'd just have to find you along the trail. I'll let you know if I can get the time off to go.
I might be interested. I did my first backpacking trip in Giant City last weekend. It went well and I'm looking for my next adventure. Still need a lot of gear but what I had worked ok. It might be later Friday afternoon before I could make it.
hey like that photo!!!
I'm not going to be able to make it. I got called back to work last week and I won't be able to take off work Friday. Have fun without me.
ok ..:cool:Quote:
