Not completely out of shape but 20+ years as a smoker has taken its toll. Also not real confident I have all the necessary gear.Originally Posted by Vulture

Like Stone said, hike into Eddington Creek Friday evening.
Wish I saw this sooner, planning my first overnighter at nordhouse for that saturday. got my hammock, pack, tarp, misc gear...and just waiting for paul to finish up my quilts.
I have camped up there at Northern exposure and did some MT bike runs from dilling rd to marilla...pretty nice stuff. Acutally them rides in the NCT is what got me wanting to pursue some backpacking trips to see more of it and at a slower pace. Cant wait to get up there myself. I even have relatives in Kaleva for taxi If I dont want to do a loop.
Good choice, it's probably best you get all the kinks worked out on a 2 mile hike rather than a 20+ mile hike.
Great! Now its gonna rain (or snow).
Why!?!
Because hammock!
After a quick check the Marilla Trailhead is open, couldn't pay anyone to close the gate. LOL! But Seaton Creek is closed.
Freon~ Nordhouse is open
Since I've still got some "free" time, and would be spending the money to drive across the state, I'm considering heading over a few days early to spend some time at Nordhouse, then meeting up on Friday to do the MRT loop.
Edit: Oops, I forgot I've got scout meetings scheduled for that Thursday... looks like I'll probably be meeting up for the MRT on Friday, then heading over to Nordhouse after.

Are hunters going to be a problem while hiking? At least in bow season they don't shoot anything that moves.
not worried about bow season... i wouldn't go hiking Nov. 15th without head to toe blaze orange.
