Gack... just looked at the Blackwell Hotel menu again and it's from 2003. Back to square one on whether it is still in business.

Gack... just looked at the Blackwell Hotel menu again and it's from 2003. Back to square one on whether it is still in business.
I don't know if it is still open... But at one time the Blackwell Inn (I think was the name... Maybe Hotel) had good food. Not sure what the bill of fare was. But it has been a few years since I've...
Whee doggies!! It is looking like perfect weather Wednesday and Thursday. Mid 70's highs with mid 50's lows. Partly cloudy but only 20% chance of rain. It don't get any better than that.
That's the reason for the salt "blocks". I think you want one of those cow lick size. You really need to get them up high... They are afraid of heights you know.
Five hikers... and two gimps... :) at least for Wed and Thurs nights. Wait.. I'm confused.... I've only been keeping track of the gimps. The hikers are someone elses's problem....
The trail is very well blazed... or at least it used to be. I have no doubt it still is. Mostly a well worn foot path. SBD and I are planning to get to Bradley Wales early afternoon. If you are...
PM sent...
Sweetbabyd... what's your eta at my place? Makes a difference in terms of being easy to find.
I only ride my hybrid. I have an ancient road bike... but I am too old and gimpy to use it any more. I have a hitch mount carrier on the blazer that can handle 4 bikes so that's not an issue. One...
Ohh if things go this way... bring your bike unless it is a skinny tire road racer. The rail trail is a superb bike path. Crushed limestone surface. I've go a rack/carrier that we can tote the...
PM sent... oh pulease too short... :confused:
get to Milton Wednesday and I'll get you to the area where they should be camping midway SOBO if all goes right. It's about 200 ft on a total flat, wide cowpath where I would expect them to be. I'm...
The last time I was there the area near the campsite was parking prohibited with big signs. (That may have changed but I doubt it.) That's not to say people _don't_ park there but it is not a...
Bradley Wales is an accepted place to leave your truck. There is a parking lot there. I'll be leaving my truck there that night. Having said that, it does get a fair amount of party traffic at...
I haven't looked at the guide book so I can't check this myself. But going south.. is this before or past Bradley Wales? There are campsites beyond Bradley Wales SOBO but if I remember correctly...
According to Google Earth the GPS for Rattlesnake Rock is 41* 32' 27.01" N 77* 24' 14.72" W Note... that's the Rock itself not the parking lot but they are close enuf and you can't really get to the...
According the PCO's literature a few years ago their parking lot is supposed to be a porky free zone. (Not sure how they can assure that but that's what they've said.) Chuck Dillon is a real...
If the plan is to camp at Bradley-Wales I'll join you for the night. There is plenty of hanging space there. Just confirm the dates for me.
On the West Rim Trail you will not need permits for camping and you can camp anywhere you want. _In the Gorge_ is a different issue. There you _will_ need permits. But the only time that would be...
Be aware that the Bohen Run trail is _in the gorge_ so camping permits are needed to spend the night. There are some beautiful campsites there from what I understand.
Hold off on a decision on...
Assuming it is still open, and I don't know why it wouldn't be, DO NOT MISS the ice cream place in Ansonia at the end of the trip. It's right out on RT 6 at the intersection. They are used to...
Rattlesnake Rock is the official southern Termiknus for the WRT. I can't hike the trail but I could help with logistics. Camping permits are required if you are in the Gorge. If you use the old...
