Anyone interested in a Summer hike/hang in the Sods, WV's east coast highlands paradise? Maximum party size of 10, hang anywhere you want and for free. BYO food. Bear country, so be sure to know how to hang your food/use a bear canister. The Sods can be swampy in places, but rewards you with amazing scenery. Plan on approaching from the picnic area in the southern part of the sods. I will start a gear list spreadsheet, info sheet as we approach summer. I am thinking July 12th-14th and return home Sunday. This gorgeous gem in the East is only 4 hours from DC! Hope to see what interest we can generate here. . One caveat, the rangers say it is crowded in the summer, but at least it will be better than the week of the Fourth. In any case, this wilderness area is huge, so that shouldn't be much of a concern. Ground dwellers also welcome, but we will try to convert you to above ground camping!
Seasonal weather for July is 58 for a low, 81 for a high, and 70 for mean temperature. Precipitation is .18" avg for this time of year, so pretty perfect hiking/camping weather.
Please use the spreadsheet for signing up for this event,
and feel free to modify the spreadsheet if you want to add anything.
