Bob O's trailname is Scout 78, he is 78yrs old, but looks like a happy boy when we are section hiking the AT.
He hiked often with the scouts when he was raising his family.

Looking forward to getting outside....

Curious on what the group is planning in respects to dinner. Is everyone on their own or is the plan to coordinate something? I know Dutch mentioned grilling steaks

should we bring a steak? - will someone have a grill to use? Should we bring a side dish to share?

I'm fine with whatever works for everyone, but I want to bring something to share if that's the way we want to go...

We have a nice big titanium grill that we throw over the fire pit. In general we all bring out own meat but there is usually enough to share. You don't want to be that poor sucker eating freezedried meals or hot dogs when everyone is eating steak. This is a 50 yard walk from the car so comforts are abound. BigCarl graces us with smoked cheeses and sausages. Avoid GLP's sausage though. I usually have a salad to compliment my steak and a bottle of wine will help you sleep through the snoring. In the morning we usually go to a diner for breakfast. So it is eat, drink, sleep, eat again.

Shug does breakfast from the hammock, we do breakfast from the diner.

This sounds good, I think I'll put in extra effort to make it. BTW, will there be some Dutch ware available for purchase? I think my new tarp will need some hardware
