  1. WNC-John Rock, Pisgah National Forest 13-16 July

    Once again, my job has kicked me squarely in the proverbial nuts. I won’t be able to come Thursday and possibly not at all. I might get to come Friday night and leave Saturday morning.

    If you are coming to this hang, please have a plan to secure you food overnight. The bears have been out in force this summer. A couple that works at the hatchery has confirmed a problem Bear as...

    Hope to see you there, Tim. I will try to remember to bring your wind pants. Yeah, the enchanted forest has been encroached by grass and weeds.

    I hiked Cat Gap/John Rock Wednesday and the bridge is still out. It was a fairly easy rock hop over to the other side, but the creek wasn’t super high.
  8. WNC-John Rock, Pisgah National Forest 13-16 July

    Hopefully the bridge has been replaced. I was there in March and it was completely gone. I’ll try to get over there and check it out soon.

    I just realized that some people might be reading this trip report, but not the planning thread where I first posted about encountering the bear.

    …and I’m back out of the woods. Juvenile bear would not leave me alone. Kept circling. Got as close as 10 feet. I’m fine with solo camping, but this dude was giving me the creeps.

    There is a good Ingles in Mills River if people are getting on 280 from I26. That would be a good place to stock up on the way in.

    Thanks, David. Look forward to having you. On a side note, you can fit the entire country of Chaz (or is it Chop, now?) under your custom tarp.
  31. Has anyone had an animal run into them whilst hanging?

    Plenty of birds land on the hammock. Had close calls with deer, turkeys, raccoons and one bear, but never actually ran in to me.
