    Thanks.. Storyteller and I have hit about 7 of the Percy Priest islands since our first Bear island hang with ya'll . Bear is a good one for bigger groups, but for smaller groups, Luau island is amazing. If we want to change it up a bit for our HF group, I'd recommend Rivers Bend Island, just to the east of Bear Island. Some amazing group spots, and free parking at Long Hunter State Park. About a 20 min paddle, and day trips to nearby Poole Knobs Island. 22 of the percy priest islands have campsites. I hope we can hit them all. http://www.nashville-vacation-fun.co...e-islands.html

    I just put this hang on my calendar, though it's the weekend after I return from my Maine AT hiking trip on that Tuesday, so not positive I can take a third weekend off in a row. We'll have to wait and see.

    Change of Plans. I will not be in town that weekend. Sigh.

    Had to postpone my Maine AT hike trip by one week, thus will still be in Maine hiking on the Appalachian Trail that weekend. Y'all will have to do this hang without any Ceasar salad. Please don't be too disappointed.

    Sorry, Neo!!!

    Neo, I will try to come on the 6&7. I doubt Hamhocker can get off since we are going on vacation the following week.
