    It is an easy hike in of less than .75 mile. Setting up in the dark maybe harder as there are no pretested penthouse locations. If I'm there early enough I could scout locations for the two of you.

    We have water!

    We had the opportunity to recon the trail. Great job, olddog. A few notes:

    This is the address to the parking lot on Chancey Rd.

    Lastly, here is a park map, along with GPS coordinates of various landmarks on the trail. You want to park at Marker 13 and hike into Marker 10.

    That will be amazing if you can scout some hang options for us. We will appreciate that! Thanks Lamar!

    Can't wait, it's looking like a Fantastic group for this hang! Did any of the scouting parties notice if there is enough wood in the area?

    Thanks Jimj and j-e-m. Did you taste the water? There were no maps at the kiosk when we checked it out.

    Tropikal and Marlene you are more than welcome.

    O-boy, don't recall even noticing or checking on wood but we have discussed this being an Indian fire. Small and close. I'm sure after Irma there is plenty down for the picking.

    Count me in folks! You can thank O-Boy, or blame him, whichever is the case.

    Great! I was wondering if we were going to have to take up a collection and buy that waterfront property just to get you in the woods this year. Missed you around the fire friend.

    Seem to recall emcee saying he wouldn't be able to make this one. There are a number we haven't heard from yet but it looks to be a good gathering including a couple of new faces around the fire.
