I'll take a look at work and home situation and post back.

Maybe you should try a practice run to see if you're up to it.

The first several miles are pretty tame. Mostly flat with pea gravel trail.
The last 3-4 miles are pretty hilly.

Bring everything you need. I dont believe we are sharing anything...no communal food, etc.

i was thinking about that but im worried that if i make the 3 mile treck in that ill have to stay overnight before i can treck back out and right now im still trying to buy my hammock setup so i dont have a way to stay lol. but i was just wandering if its a hard treck or not?

In my opinion, the first few miles of the trail are very easy. You can just hike back out the way we go in if you dont want to do the rest of the loop. I'm not doing the loop, so I'll be hiking back out on Sunday the way we came in.
