    MI-Weekend trip at Pinckney Recreation Area_Nov 20th-22nd

    Hey guys,

    Sorry if this post shows up twice...the first one didn't go through apparently!

    Planning a trip Nov 20th-22nd to Pinckney Recreation Area with the wife, Mrs_Pantologist. We are planning on car camping on Friday at Crooked Lake (Site #10) and then doing the 7 mile hike in to Blind Lake (Site #2) On Saturday. We will start hiking out around mid day Sunday.

    If anyone is interested let me know.

    Our paths didn't cross last time(I slept in at Green lake) so maybe I can make it out for this. I been planning to go around the same time anyways. I also need to do some shakedown hikes with my new gear.

    I'm heading down there this afternoon and hiking into Blind Lake for the night. Wish I could have done it Saturday-Sunday and meet up, but I've got a commitment and have to be back in town late Saturday afternoon. Looks like we'll have a little snow to contend with too. Enjoy your hike!

    SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION EARLY SATURDAY MORNING AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL RATES ARE EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY SATURDAY EVENING...WHERE SNOWFALL TOTALS UP TO OR IN EXCESS OF 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.

    Wish I didn't have other plans. Perfect timing to hang in the snowy woods.

    I am still waiting on my hanging buddy so I think I will end up at Green lake or maybe the pines. Enjoy the night, I bet it will be quiet at Blind lake.

    Will do. I've got the whole place to myself. Bummer about the fire ban at BL. It's going to be a dark night but enjoying some decaf expresso from the hammock.
