Glad you can join us. As this is a supported hike, we'll help you smooth out the learning curve. We've a good mix of folks going and I'm looking forward to it.

Were you able to get gear sorted out for you and your kids?

Not completely. I don't have top quilts. I will just use a blanket if I have to. My daughter has changed her mind. My son and I won't know if he can make it until Friday morning. He had health issues and how he will feel is a complete mystery till he wakes up Friday morning.

Almost any sleeping bag makes a good top quilt as long as it's warm enough

Officially I have 17 down as going from both here and the facebook page; more than half have paid into the group Paypal Pool.
I will be securing the food tonight for the hike.

Rabbit Alfredo on Friday night.
KB Biscuits and gravy on Sat morning.
Steaks and potatoes on Saturday night.
Breakfast tacos on Sunday morning.

We are officially full! Unofficially there is always a bit of stealth camping to be had....

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

What time we starting tomorrow? The rain looks like it'll stop around noon, so maybe 1pm. Sunset at 7:50 pm so that's 6 hours to hike/set up.

I will leave that to those who are actually hiking. I will be at camp around 1300 setting up.

Same water taxi plans as last year? Load from the dock by the Russell ramp, call when I pull in the gate, I park at the ramp parking???

1-2ish sounds good to me for leaving Camp Tejas.

Just a heads up on the weather forecast for those attending - weather forecast I'm looking at calls for a low of 42 and some (possibly heavy) rain late Friday. It will feel colder by the lake; particularly with the high humidity. That being said, it is Central Texas so snow or sunny and a high of 85 are also a possibility

Be prepared (but not over prepared)
