    Gorge Rats 10 day hang

    Please help
    Exactly where online and what do I type to find Gorge Rats in Linville Gorge NC
    I know where it is, but I want to access the website, so I’ll have exact dates

    And I’m thinking of going to Trail Days in Damascus too. And want to get a check on dates for Trail Days
    Damascus VA will be May 19 20 21 ?
    Thanks
    All past trips to The Gorge with Gorge Rats have been fandamtastical

    Friends of a feather spring hang 2023
    Same as Gorge Rats 10 day hang spring 2023
    May 19 through May 28

    Most? of us will be at The Event Camp- just south of Wiseman’s View (Google Maps)
    If needed, some of us will spill into nearby campsites

    This is not an official posting of this hang—I’m not hosting and may have my facts wrong!

    Thanks

    Gorge Rats 10 day hang

    I typed
    LinvilleGorge.net
    And I didn’t get past the password phase

    Oh well

    Friends of a Feather named after Running Feather
    He originated many of our present day hangs
    Many stories abound of Running Feather’s exploits

    Bring some cash
    Bring some cash to help pay for firewood
    Bring some cash to tip our gastronomic chefs who go to great expense to cook some shared meals
    Bring some cash—I think Louise’s Rock House Restaurant does not take bank cards just $
    Not sure of last one, my memory skips a beat
    Louise’s probably will accept your bank card

    Car camping with option of backpacking side trips and optional day hikes

    Bring all your own water—-how can you tell lies without brewing your coffee?!?!

    I’m also interested. Will be in the Roans around that time and may be able to swing through for a night or two.

    This website is probably a good place to start.
    https://linvillegorge.net/

    Above link is from Sintax77 on https://www.sintax77.com/tag/linville-gorge/

    Once on Sintax77 you can do a <cntrl F> and type "Gorge Rats" into the search bar, and the following will be returned on the embedded search engine...

    ...The Gorge Rats have a wealth of knowledge and are very friendly and helpful to those of us noobs looking to rummage through The Gorge. There’s also treasure trove of goodies for your GPS including potential camp sites, water sources, official and unofficial trails, points of interest, etc."

    It appears that this is a forum that you must join. Once accepted membership is obtained some additional resources should become available.

    Good Luck...

    The website was redone about a month ago, but is up and running. You will have to register to get access to the forums, though.

    The Gorge Rat website, in my opinion, is not user friendly. Any time I’m confronted with a password or secret handshake, I utter words in foreign tongues.

    At least to me, the website is not friendly, especially to dumb people…
    But Gorge Rats are friendly, welcoming all to camp in their group campsites

    That’s why I go back to The Gorge every Spring and Fall. It does not matter, if you’ve never been to Linville Gorge NC, you will be welcomed by Gorge Rats.
    If you sit by our campfire, I’ll tell you some lies,that you’d swear up and down are honest truth

    Hey David, this is Brian from the Linville website. Shoot me an email and I’ll help you out. The company that was hosting the website for us shut down so we had to move the site. Forced a lot of people to have to log in again after not having to for a long time. Lots of folks forgot their old password. Send me an email and I’ll get you fixed up.

    For anyone who wants to register just hit the main site: linvillegorge.net

    Thanks Brian, I’ll think of password that I’m unlikely to forget
