Yes, one fire.
Clint and Gabe made us a nice fire ring two weeks ago when we did recon. Plan on gathering a little wood.

Just a few questions/clarifications:
1) We are hiking from nebo ridge trailhead to brown hollow and camping there the first night. Then hiking from brown hollow to browning hill and camping there the 2nd night. Then back to the trailhead the 3rd day. Correct?
2) Mule is marking all of these hikes/trails with ribbon?
3) Is there a water source at each campsite or do we need to pack water for all 3 days?
I think that's it for now...
Oh and each day's hike is only a couple (2-4) miles, correct?
About 3 each day including going out from BH to the trailhead. We should get in about 9 miles. Day hike up the hollow on Friday will be easy to navigate and very pretty. A day hike down into Bad Hollow could be an option for Saturday, or for the real athletic hikers a hike down the west side of BH and back will make you hungry for supper. It would only take a couple of hours but they would be good exercise.Originally Posted by mygoatiscrazy

You can laugh all you want, but so far everyone that's spent the night on Browning Hill has become out of sorts, weird, quirky, startles easily, wide eyed and generally on the crazy side. Just wait till you meet my two boys, Jake and Jim, and Clint, Dave, and many others. It's hard to hide once you've experienced 'the hill.' And if Big Al were coming (he's down in the back) you would see quite a bad case Browning Hill Syndrome. Why, sometimes he mumbles, slobbers, and shakes and carries on so's it makes you wonder if he weren't just born in Indiana or suffers from some other debilitating family history. Fact is, he's been to 'the hill' one too many times.Barefoot Child, all you need is a cell phone and the number for Ghostbusters....

Or try to look into Clint's eyes without blinking. I don't think he's blinked himself for years. And my condition is well known and I hate to talk about it.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to make our name tags out on a fresh garlic clove, just to be on the safe side.

So, do you think I'll be safe as long as I wear my caldera cone on my head? You know, to keep the gamma rays from scanning my brain.... They are listening....

Did I miss the response on water? Is it available at both sites?

What others in the know have said is that there is good water in a creek at the first site, but plan on bringing water up to Browning Hill. There's a pond there but Mule and HikerDave recommend you avoid it.

Yes, I do recall a post that said that there was available water for the first night, but that you should plan on packing in water to the second night's location. But not to over do the amount, and of course the amount would be what you will need, HYOH.
Now, as far as Kokomo IN goes....A few years ago I had the opportunity to spend some time at Grissom AFB which is close to Kokomo, and it was pointed out to me that in Peru which is also close to Kokomo that the International Circus Hall of Fame is located on the old Circus winter over site. And that at one time they had the largest camel heard in the USA. Also located in the town of Kokomo is the World's Largest Sycamore Stump...57 feet in circumference and 12 feet tall, the tree that use to shade Kokomo was over 800 years old.
Nothing scary there, but I have to wonder about a guy who lives in a town that has the world's largest Sycamore stump, maybe we should call him "Stumpy" instead of Mule.
