MamaSmurf and I are planning to bring some of our local Amish cheeses and some chips to go along with Friday's supper.

Completely understand. Its just that I have 5 hours to relax on the way home. Not going to try the 14m to US19, but might try the 13m to Iron Mt Gap. We'll see, probably end up just going to Carvers Gap and hiking both Grassy Ridge and Roan. Doubt I'll get anything in Friday as I can't leave as early as I hoped, and won't be at the hang until mid-afternoon.

Speaking of, what are we in need of for Friday night? Seems like we'll have a good crowd.

The weather is looking great! The humidity is gonna be below 50% and in the upper 70's daytime and 50's at night until Sunday, and that will feel great! And we don't wanna say the R word and jinx it but it's looking gooood.

We need something to go with Science Gals BBQ on Friday night. May I suggest Corn on the Cob (can be done on the fire still in the husk) or maybe Beans or Coleslaw? Whatever and someone else can chime in!

I am planning to make breakfast Saturday morning. It will be just Alana and I and the plan is to run out of food because we will be on the road for another week so it will be while supplies last.
