I'm up for whatever. Its a short hike and an easy climb. We can play it by ear and just focus on enjoying ourselves. I have no problem hiking it clockwise.
I plan to take my time and enjoy the company and have some laughs.
Also, if anybody is coming from the Hampton Roads area and wants a ride just let me know. We can work something out.
I figured I'd go ahead an try and get things organized alittle better since we are getting close the the trip date. For those who are going to be able to make it can you please reply and let us know.
I talked to some others and it seems the best route for us to take so that we can all meet up at the same camp is to hike the valley section first. This would be a counterclockwise hike on the loop.
Friday around Midday (little after lunch), I am planing to hit the Trailhead. I'm over 3 hours away so it just depends on traffic and how fast I can get out the door. Friday Night I plan to camp at the second camp on the loop marked on the map. Saturday Morning we can meet up on the summit and hang out for the day and camp there over night. Sunday morning is a simple hike out and farewells. Should be alot of fun and relaxing. Its a short hike with medium elevation change(3000'). If we loose each other on the trail then just meet up at the camp site. Ill be rocking a Blue External Frame Pack and generally a Bright Orange Hat. We all hike at different speeds so dont feel the need to slow down or speed up on my account.

All the links are in the OP. The cords are the exact location of the parking lot and trail head. If you plug the cords in google maps it will take you to the parking area. Just get directions to there from your location and you will be fine. The map i got is from the link in the OP. It takes you to the hikingupward page with all the details to the hike including additional maps and directions. The site also has a printable Topo Map of the trail..
I'm just over 4 hrs away i'm going to try to get there between 1-2 hopefully earlier.
It's not the fall im scared of, it's the sudden stop at the end!!!
Only hang as high as your willing to fall- H.F. member
Here is map off of google for how to get there.

I'm about 2.5 hours from there.
I'm in Richmond, have a 2 seater plus two dogs. It would be a tight fit but I could carry one person with pack or am willing to carpool and split gas.
