    Interest Check: Spring Red River Gorge Hang Out

    I am looking at hosting a hang out at the Red River Gorge. This time I thought about maybe camping at Indian Staircase. There are 2 ways to get to the top of Indian Staircase. One way uses the existing trail system and the other way would include some rock climbing. Both ways lead to a multitude of beautiful campsite situated on top of a very scenic ridge. You are looking at 1.5 to 2 mile hike in to get to the campsites

    There is also another potential location in the same area that is situated on the Red River. It's about a 3 mile hike in and includes a beach and a swimming in the river (weather permitting). Of course we could also hold the hang out at the same site used for the last few gatherings.

    I voted for May. I'll be at Hot Springs in April, and need to build back up some brownie points between hangouts...

    Wish I could, but I'm saving $$ and vacation time for a trip back east during TrailDays. I think I miss the smell.

    My knife is so sharp it cut the sixth finger off my right hand! On the plus side, Inigo Montoya no longer hunts me.

    dang! good catch. I was in the doghouse for a long time for choosing to run in my favorite 1/2 marathon that was scheduled one year on mother's day.

    the doghouse is cold and lonely. Deal me out of that weekend

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    I voted for May but any of those dates work for me. Mule
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.

    Man, do I want to go to this one, but I think it will be too close to my BWCA trip.
