Finally got the dates worked out.

Chuck and I will be hiking north into Buck Lake from Clearwater Lake Campground on friday, 1/17. this hike will be about 16 miles. We'll be meeting on Thursday afternoon and getting an early start on Friday (we don't want to miss much at FH4).

After the hang we will head up to the intersection of FST and SR 19 and hike back to Buck Lake. All are welcome to work in any part of this. We will be doing about 12 to 15 miles per day in order to work around water and camping locations. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll help with any questions.

Sorry, emcee,
I didn't see that you wanted me to post this on your link until it was too late.
I'll copy and past...happy trails!

Give them your itinerary and they should provide a shuttle service just about anywhere in the ONF.
I'm not sure if Charley is still driving the truck about, but if he is your in for some great stories.
I previously worked in Salt Springs @ Marion County Fire Rescue, St#15 and I would arrange through buck n bass a shuttle a few times each month, from Oct-May.
They were always accommodating.
-Cheers

I made it to Bonita Springs last night. Just sitting by the pool enjoying a cup of coffee this morning. Emcee we will have a ball on our hike both into the hang and after.

I'll be hiking and bicycling all over down here if anyone has time to join me over the next month.

Well, if you can get on up Gainesville way, I'm doing a bike-n-hang on the 29th of this month as a gear shakedown for the 4th Annual Hang (planning thread's in my sig). You're welcome to come!
