    NC > Umstead Hike and Hang

    I've talked to a couple local hangers and there has been some interest shown. Since we have this gem in our backyard we should take advantage of it. ShowersWithPigs and I are trying to prepare for our AT section hiking so there will be a longer hike if anyone wants to join. Obviously you can take your own shorter ones.
    I figure this would be a good time to share stories of previous backpacking adventures, gear suggestions, best recipes, and general comradery.

    Date: TBD

    Duration: 1 night, camping TBD

    Food: potluck dinner? Bring your own lunch (dehydrated, MRE, etc) I'd like to gather some backpacking meal ideas if you can share your favorite

    Let us know the date as that will determine if I can make it or not.

    We might consider March 21st weekend. Not sure how much hiking I'll want to do, but hanging would be great.

    ☺ Glad to see you joining us. I thought talks of MRE's might have steered you away. Hikes and MRE's are optional.

    Mar 21 There is a 5k in Winston Salem I might be running. I need to check on that. It's not a high priority.

    Could do a one nighter up there in March (excluding 7-8 March).
    Straight out of Clayton.

    Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.

    As will I.

    Mar 21 won't work for me.. The gf reminded me that we already paid for the run. How about the weekend before or after?

    I think the only group campground is on the Harrison Ave Side of the park. I know the Glenwood Ave side does have RV camping unless things have changed.

    Here's a list of the legal campsites.

    Well as tacoma96 said there are group camp sites at the Harrison entrance.

    I might swing up to the park office one of these days.
