Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Mule,,here in southern Indinana, we went almost 3 weeks without rain, and finally got some rain,,the ground soaked it all in as we were dry as all get out. Now you got rain,,and more rain,,and more rain this week. So far just in the last 2 days, 2.4 inchs and still coming down tonite. You don't have to worry about water now for sure! the ground is soaked and and creeks, and streams are going to come up.
That's great news, Acer. Thanks.
Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
So much rain that the grass is floating. ��
I will definitely be making the trip, already took that Friday off and plan on being at the tower by noonish.
Little to no reception with sprint. I think some with Verizon may have found some coverage. Not difficult at all to find. You won't need a quad unless you are planning to bush whack.
If you park at the fire tower, go past the gate on the cemetery road until the trail turns off to the right. The trail is well-marked and obvious. Walk about 1.5 to 2 miles on the trail until you see the post making the turn-off for campsite #2. At that point turn off the trail on the other side of the trail and bush whack along the stream for about 0.5 miles or so until you see the group. There will probably be a faint trail most of the way depending on how many got there before you.
see you then!

"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience...." --Robert Traver
Termite, I plan on getting there about the same time Friday, eleven or twelve. It depends on how much time I waste at REI. Does anyone know if Gatheredstone has posted a sign-up for pizza ingredients? I wouldn't mind bringing something for the cause.
Ftroop94 I found the spot for the first time last year like I had been there a hundred times. A gps would help, but not necessary. When in doubt, wait by the campsite two trail marker on the main trail and someone will come along sooner or latter.
I'm getting really excited! Last year it was 23 degrees the first night and 27 degrees the second. I had only a poncho liner for an under quilt and was quite cold. This year I made a bigger tarp, bigger hammock and just finished an UQ that should get me into the 20's. Combine that with my hammock sock and I should be better prepared for whatever comes my way. I even have a pint of Apple Pie to share around the fire...

Yippeeeeeee! Cool Termite.

It will be good to see you again there in the valley. Let me know if you need anything. I am seeing Gathered Stones today and will ask him your question and tell him to post something. I think GPS co ordinance is posted here somewhere by Bonsaihiker. Can't wait to see all that new gear!
Do a search maybe

Thinking about heading over to join you guys this weeked. If so it looks like saturday night is the only night I can come. I enjoyed myself last time even though I didn't get a chance to meet everyone..
It's not about the miles, its about the smiles!
