February 2011 NW PA Hang

[Can't Wait]

I emailed the park ranger to make sure the lot is accessible like the map says it should . Extended outlook rain and 40°'s for friday near 50° on saturday. Now wasn't this to be a winter hang. It's terry's fault he wanted below zero and it went the opposite extreme thats my story and sticking to it. lol

Sorry guys! It's

the story of my life! Everything that can go wrong usually does! And because I am expecting things to go a certain way fate has a bad habit of dealing me the exact iopposite.

medicjimr is contagious. I'm going to have to bow out of the hang, I totalled the wife's car in Clarion Tuesday morning. I hope you guys have fun! Looks like it will be a nice warm up.

i was late in this post but i wanted to add to it. The other trail you considered (Allegheny National Forest Hickory Creek Wilderness ) is about 5 miles from where I work in Sheffield PA, I also have a hunting camp only maybe a mile or 2 from Hearts content. If there is any hikes planned for later this year there I would be open to it and offer the use of my hunting camp if needed for anyone coming in early. ( it sleeps between 10-13 people.) I will be up there this weekend in fact as i know many cool places in this area that are not on maps.

Is there a list of confirms for this hang? Curious to who all is attending. Thread's too long for my short attention span to browse and figure out.

Well we got 6 more inch in falls creek last night, got as far as shawville today at work and still plenty of snow with a pretty good crust on top. Gonna try and make a run to the trail head this weekend to have a look, and will report in.

Thanks for the weather update, good lookin out!

I call dibs on any leftover cobbler!! Wish I could make Friday night. Cobbler would be great for breakfast Saturday morning.

Joe Cross dibs accepted... PM me on your best price per slice. (Just Kidding)! Will save you some for breakfast. Hope it's worth it!

P.S. Got a family recipe from ldcakes, if I don't screw it up, will be worth it!!!

I keep checking the forecast and at the moment they are calling for freezing rain followed by snow. Personally I think that sounds great. Maybe I'm weird but I feel kind of disappointed when I put up my tarp and then the weather is perfect. The coolest thing in the world is to be under your tarp, warm in your hammock, and listen to snow/ice/rain falling outside.

Gonna be great.

Herber, Agreed, Gonna be real great...

Thanks for the report! That 1/2 inch of weak crust sounds very encouraging. I was out last weekend here in Potter Co. Had an awful time getting through 15 inches of snow topped with 2 to 3 inches of very hard crust. Just not strong enough to stand on but a leg breaker trying to move forward. I was concerned we would face the same in the Quehanna.

Hobbit, Let's hope for no leg breakers. Looking forward to your potato soup!

Poppabear, Murphy's Law is that If anything can go wrong, will go wrong. Let's prepare for the worst and expect the best.
