My friend Lisa (the tenter) wants you all to know that she's bringing Southwestern Cornbread Salad ! Shug, you should make it just for this! Hickery can tell you all about it though. :)

Our group is not staying at the campground. We're hiking on the Blackbird Knob Trail (the trail head sign is right next to the campground extrance) to the picnic table on the trail and setting up...
The party starts when you get there, NCP!
ALL RIGHT!!! WOO HOO is right! Rock Rat and I should be at the parking area across from Red Creek Campground at about 11 am on Friday!
rock rat, what does that waypoint match up to?
Sorry Hack, I don't have an answer for you. Maybe someone else will.
HamMike you are the man! I'm lazy! I put my order in at Giant Eagle yesterday. Will be picking them up fresh on Friday morning. See ya there guy! Remember everyone to follow the signs to Red...
I have AT&T and I couldn't make cell phone calls while hiking. I got coverage once I was out of the wilderness area.
Sorry to hear it. Hope you two get some hang time together soon. :)
Update on all the happy campers, just not me. :D

Sorry to hear that medicjimr. You'll just be expected at our next one!
Weather check for the weekend. Looking good! Saturday will be a great hiking day! Sunday great too!
Friday...Partly...
Also remind Tink that if you take the Blackbird Knob Trail in it's less than 3 miles to Saturday campsite. You'll be there in 90 minutes. No death march, lots of play time.
Yep, I've been hearing more about Eastern panhandle but good reminder that it is dry all over the state and we need to be careful with our fires.
WV, I checked with the Mon Forest Service out of Elkins and they said there is no burning ban right now but to be very very careful because everything is so dry. Use only existing fire rings and...
Thanks for the heads up on burning ban. I'll check into it.
ONE WEEK PEOPLE!! Weather forcast is looking like low 70's hiking and high 40's at night! Great backpacking weather.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sorry to hear that but life happens.
Yes! And it's easy for you to get to.
Saturday Night Campsite: Meet at west side of Black Bird Knob on Black Bird Knob Trail. Intersection of Blackbird Knob Trail and Red Creek. There's camping...
Bump! RockRat and I will be bringing some WV wood for the Friday night campfire. Here's a 7-day weather link to track the weather, although I know it's going to be perfect weather and not worth...
First night camping spot on Friday near cars there's no water right there. You can bring in own from cars or go over to the pump at Red Creek Campground, which some say doesn't taste very good. ...
Great to hear Hickery! Look forward to meeting you!

I don't have a turn by turn but once in the Sods I always follow signs to Red Creek Campground.
I really like that girl!
Sorry to hear that and hope your dad does well with his surgery. If plans change don't forget us!

I know a bunch of people will be interested in that. Thanks Acer.
Great! I've never seen a Bushbuddy up close and personal! Been wantin' to!
Anyone with a woodburning stove is invited to bring them to Dolly Sods for a comparison and smoke-off on Friday night. Just to make sure most of us are there, I'm thinking dinner time 6pm-ish on...
Nope. :( Depending on temps I'm hoping to use it on this trip.
Glad to hear it! Trout, which pack are you bringing? :) Thanks for extra info and map link.
Bump! Only 3 weeks until the Dolly Sods Hang/Backpacking weekend! Finally! So many hangs on this forum now that we are all scheduling so early that it takes forever for them to get here!
I'm so...
That'll do! That's what I have and was glad to have them when I was there last year.
Great to hear Trout! Would love to have you there!
See post #1 for most details. Also see pictures on post #1. They are the markers you should be looking for to get you to the Blackbird Knob trailhead right next to the Red Creek Campground.

Hey RR, that's great to hear. I know you are often limited on when you can take off. Will be good to see you again!
Hey, sorry for a bit of delay on response. This is first time we've done a hang at Dolly Sods. And first time for me where whole group is backpacking in -- so as far as I know there are no...

OK, time to start a names list for Dolly Sods. PM me if you are pretty sure you are still going and I will update and post the list every so often until the hang. That way we can get a feel for...
LOL, pepperoni rolls go on every backpacking trip I take. The perfect combination of fats, protien and carbs! Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Can eat 'em cold or steam them warm! I...
Yeah! Great to hear.
BUMP! Officially one month out from the Dolly Sods hang/backpacking weekend. Sept 17-19! Keep it on your radar. Don't let real life get in the way. I checked the weather and it looks like it's...
Sorry to hear that Crash. Let me know when you'll be biking up this way. I may be able to shuttle you or perhaps join in.
Heck yeah, keep me posted. I was just at Otter Creek 2 weeks ago. Great swimming holes there!
Good reason to carpool! :)
That's great to hear Crutches. Yeah, I already put in my vacation request for that Friday. It's a fantastic area, you won't regret making the drive.
And we'd love to have you! Put it in BIG LETTERS. :)
Bumpin' just to keep it on the HF radar.
Noobs and Yankees all welcome! I added one weather link but if I find something more specific to Red Creek Campground, I'll post that as well. Thanks for the reminder to post about weather. ...
