Alabama - Sipsey Wilderness Area Fall/ Halloween Hang Oct. 28-30

I'm thinking of bringing my fire pit grill (it has legs and is off the ground) so that I can have a fire. It would appear that under the above post from the Alabama Forestry Website, it would be legal. Thoughts ???

Just spoke to a lady at the ranger's office. Allowed: coleman stove, backpacking stove, gas grills are allowed if it has a lid... Not Allowed: anything wood burning and No charcoal. Nothing that would produce an ember... She said to call back at the end of the week because it may become more strict .

I will have the following I am bringing with me to use in North Georgia next week. If needed, we can use any or all at Wolfpen: 1 Coleman stove, 1 cooking table, 1 folding table, 1 12X12 canopy, and 1 five gallon water container. We can also use the stove in the camper. I feel very strongly that we need to protect our forest. Ashley

I imagine they will take advantage of the sunny spots to warm up since the nights are getting cool now. My concern is how to do this as a day hike, not knowing how rugged the terrain actually is. Do we park a car at Kinlock Falls, start at Randolph TH and hike all the way through?

Well, so much for my idea...

Well Squid will cover the gas cook top so I can do Hate Beans on Saturday. The other methods for cooking will need to be explored individually.

Squid - don't forget to thaw the meat for Friday.......

We could do Randolpf to Kinlock, or the gated road just past Randolph and drop down at the private property and out to Kinlock, or 210A would bring us in near Parker falls the back way and out to Kinlock. I think some could do this as a day hike. Since we will probably have more than 10 wanting to hike, we could split into groups.

Will pick up the meat on the way, no need to thaw this time!

And yes, will bring the 2 burner gas cooktop.
