Hoosier Halloween Hang 2013

[Lost_Biker]

Is everyone going to be using the fire tower parking lot? I thought there was another one closer to the hang spot?

It is with a heavy heart that I have to withdraw from attending this weekend, I'm sure you all will still have a great time and I will be wishing I was there for sure, I have been looking forward to this for a what seems like a long time so this was not an easy choice to make

Just saw you won't be able to make it, I'm sorry to hear it. Hope to you see you on the next one then.

Update:

Lol, just read a little farther and see you are back. That'll teach me not to read through all the posts before entering my own post. Glad to see you're back!

Got you covered. I will put it in my pack. I am going in Thursday and I think you are coming Friday. I have to walk out and meet my son at 5PM on Friday, too.

Rolloff, I also sent you the map by email to put on your phone if you want.

Hoot, my daughter (aka Trailboss), and myself will be heading in from Kansas City starting around 4AM. Barring any issues we should be hitting the parking lot at the fire tower between 1 and 2 on friday. Anyone else landing at that time? Hoot and I are still a little shaky on the directions and could a little guide help to the site if available.

I think Rolloff was getting there about that time, you could check. Probably others as well.

Nope. Leaving Indy around Noon.

I'll be there @ 2pm on Thursday(Today). See you there or in CV.

Thanks a bunch.

I was planning on heading that way myself, on Friday. Figured at some point Axsom Branch had to have something worth filtering. How close to Salt Creek is the old home place? PM me if you care to share some directions.

I really don't remember seeing any pools of water...well, execpt for the big one (Lake Monroe) My wife walked for a while in the branch since it was easier and didn't get muddy.

Anyway, here are the coordinates as recorded by my Garmin 450 for the home place: N39 03.192 W86 20.124 It was really hard to determine exactly where the house was until I saw one landmark. There is a row of old pines that was just inside the fenced-in yard, and a tiny branch that was near the front porch. Those coordinates should put you square in the middle of the house.

I brought back an old piece of barbed wire and a short necked beer bottle from 1962 (grandparents didn't drink), but that was about the time they would have left the place.

Just for the sake of conversation, they relocated just south of the intersection of #446 and Tower Ridge Road; almost right behind the church you see at the turn off.

Hope everyone has a great time this weekend
