Acer's link shows the location of the gravel parking lot. The short segment of a road shown leading north goes to the camp site.

Wouldn't that be fantastic? Snow beginning at 0130 Sunday morning and falling thick and steady all day Sunday! We would just have to stay and enjoy one or two more nights!


Thing1 needed them!...

...could host it!

Let's do it! I've never been on Roan Mountain...

Isn't your second PeaPod an older one, rated to freezing or something like that?

I have no doubt that I can be toasty with IX alone, but it would be interesting to use an IX or PPEF sock to...

I spoke with Thing2 and her mother. Last January, momma vetoed the Mt Rogers trip for Thing2, based on the weather forecast. Now, she says, "Well, you guys did fine!" So, both Thing1 and Thing2 will...

Thing2 went on one hang, at Turkey Pen Gap. She has worked hard, with Thing1's help, to master sleeping in a hammock, and she has become pretty good at it. Although she is no girly girl, she has not...

Bring the bug, we'll have enough heavier vehicles to shepherd you down the mountain.

We heard that they would not plow the road from Massey Gap to the parking lot at the trailhead to Wise...

It's a good bet that there will be snow on the ground, so folks who like to make such things are eager to bring one... I've never been anywhere else where I could use a pulk during the last few years.

I have three poles right now. We'll have one hanging slot open, after Thing1 and I set up our hammocks.

If we use it as a cooking shelter, we'll just place sit pads around it, inside the tarps......

Can't cost much to float them over... anyway, if you don't make it in time, we have a few logs left on this continent... might as well burn 'em!:lol:

Seriously, they have to come from the local...

I might also bring a couple of Swedish Candles. :thumbup:
