Did you git any more info. about camping at Hawk Mt.?

Confirmed that Hawk Mountain is open and have a call into the rangers to ask details. There is a great big group campsite thats free at Jones Creek that I listed above that would be a backup if Hawk didnt work out. It is about 25 minutes from Hawk.

I have identified additional camping locations along the route where we could possibly camp if time doesnt allow us to make it to the desired locations. If we leave out at 8-9am Friday, that would probably put us at the public campsite around 6pm.

Time changes this weekend so that will give some extra daylight.

Are you driving your jeep?

Yes

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Yes

be sure its in tip top shape, this is a lot of miles in backcountry areas with no help for miles. I remember you had some issues last time we were out.

 

[LBarr2002]

Yes

What @97TJGUZZY said. Just wanted to make sure it hasn't been sitting around not being driven and then hop in and hit the road.

Any ideas on food? Are we going to eat together or just do our thing at night?

 

[97TJGUZZY]

I think we can definatly do some meals together. Looks like we would have:

If we want to we could have people sign up to claim a meal. And lunches would be on your own. I'm going to post this info on the first post and will update as we discuss.

That sounds good. I can help out. I'll bring my large skillet

 

[highpockets]

No skillet needed, but if you have a pretty good size pot to boil water that would help. Gotcha thinking now.

 

[Dewitt10jku]

I will do Friday morning breakfast. Sausage and eggs. Will have regular sausage and deer sausage for people who don’t eat deer meat.

I was skeptical, but they turned out yummy at AOP.

Yeah I’ve tried that method a couple time since I learned how from the master.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

[Weldin Rod]

“For anyone that is interested I just spoke with the blue ridge ranger district and the portion of Flatlands that was challenging is closed and will remain closed until they are able to repair it. If you look at their map it is show black (not open to public). There is no gate but they do not want anyone on it.” Update on flatlands road

 

[97TJGUZZY]

With that being said, I may be revising our meetup spot on Thursday. We may try to go ahead and head to the public camping field that we mentioned earlier
