    I plan on reaching the parking lot at Washington Monument Park around 8-8:30 am. There is ample, free parking there. Then head on up the trail.

    If you have the time and inclination, come on out. Great views from the cliffs there and Annapolis Rocks, which we'll pass on the way.

    I was just going for the Friday. Leaving the parking lot at 8:30 am, 6 mile hike. Plenty of time to set up and enjoy the area. Sleep in Saturday morning, slowly make my way home.

    Edit: I could be persuaded to stay Saturday night, if others were going to be there. Let me know!

    I plan on attending. I'm flexible, possibly the decision could be made Saturday morning wether we remain or return home.

    Simple enough,,, I'll pack food for 2 days.

    There are options in this area. We could stay at Black Rocks, move over to Annapolis Rocks, or go back past Washington Monument to Rocky Run Shelter area. Just throwin' that out there.

    I love how ideas and things just bloom and grow on this site!

    Is there room for one more? Like Uncle Ray Ray, I would be starting later and would access the trail head at route 40.

    Always room for more. The woods is full of trees to hang from! Glad to have more happy hangers come out!

    There's a sign for Black Rock Cliffs right on the AT. We should be somewhere right around there Friday afternoon. Pretty easy to locate the bunch of us. Especially me with my orange hammock, orange UQ, orange whoopies, orange Dutch Clip, and orange Dutch Biner. :-)

    I have the AT Map for Maryland, as well as the recent AT guide that I'll be bringing along. This should help in exploring the area and deciding where to hang for Saturday.

    I'm also bringing Dejoha's Hammock Guide book. Lots of topic for discussion and sharing!

    Would you happen to have the UTM coordinates for the location?

    Dogs are allowed in this area. I expect the temps to be cold next week. So far things look clear - no rain. But the temps will be 53F-35F from what the forecast calls (looking at Boonsboro, MD - we'll be a bit higher in elevation, so expect a bit cooler temps)
