More pictures of the Deam
If all of us expresses our preferences first, finding out whether to go to the Deam or somewhere else in the Hoosier National Forest, then we can choose a destination. Personally, parking at the Nebo Ridge Trailhead is easy and a nice place to park. I've never heard of a problem in that parking lot. Then we could go to Brown Hollow where there will be good water and plenty of trees. From there we could take a day hike to Browning Hill on Saturday, perhaps.
If the Deam is chosen by the majority, the I know we could still find places to go where we would be away from others. Right smack dab in the middle of the loop of the Sycamore Branch Trail (staring at the Tower on Tower Road) is a place we call Crescent Valley due to it's shape. It has a nice stream running through it and there are no trails that lead to it. You simply bushwhack down into it from the Sycamore Branch trail. Then from there we could day hike out to Terrel Pond. Terrell Pond is a beautiful place, but over camped anytime but the winter. Here are some pictures of it.
