Still too early to tell, but it looks like it might get down to the low 30s this weekend. Darn, was looking forward to the temps getting down to the teens

I probably won't make this one, but nice to see you guys may make it. Would like to hang with you again.

likewise!

We're also looking at the possibility of rain, which would be a first for this hang. It's still too early to tell, though. We'll have to play it by ear.

So your wet wipes can freeze?

On the positive side, it was snowing here earlier. Friday's temps in the Pine Barrens look like high of 58/low 44, while Saturday is high 52/low 31. We're still five days out so the forecast can change (and probably will).

Geez, my POS Guide Gear tarp is gonna get another workout? I might bring both of them this time (as long as someone drives them in).

Like you said above, we're still 5 days out, so we can expect that the forecast will change. However weather.com is showing Friday evening as "rain likely", with a 70% chance overnight. Not really forecasting anything for Friday day, or Saturday/Sunday, so I guess we'll just have to keep an eye on it.

4 more days!

If anyone has any last minute concerns or questions, post them here or shoot me a PM.

I'm going to send a PM out to everyone on the attendee list with my contact info, in case there are any problems the day of (can't find the parking lot or trail head, last minute cancellations, lost in the woods, etc.) - I'll have my phone on me, and we do get reception in the woods and at camp (somewhat) so if there are issues, you can call or text. Just include your forum name in the text otherwise I'll be clueless. Cross your fingers, and hope for cold weather but no rain.

Cheers.

I will definitely be there, but yesterday I twisted my knee so I can't hike 4 miles with it. Heck, I can barely walk on the darn thing today.

Is there a "cheater" way to get into camp, ride along with someone who is dropping off supplies and then hike only the last mile or something?

Not that I really need anything, but every year the Black Friday sales all have usually started on Friday and run until end of day Sunday, making it difficult to catch them since we're out in the woods every year for this trip.

Seems like many of the vendors understood our plight, and have decided to run their sales all week long So we can still #optoutside for Black Friday, and support our cottage vendors too! By all means, place your orders before you come out in the woods. I've heard Loco Libre quilts are nice ... but you may have already missed that one

Speaking of, looking forward to finally trying out my 0˚ Ghost Pepper this weekend. Might be overkill, but I'm going to use it anyway!
