Bob, just now arrived at Grayson. He got 20 parking passes. If you are among first 20 to enter park, you won’t have to get your pass at guard shack.
Bob said roads are clear on way to Grayson
And there are sporadic ice patches in the park.
If no one is at guard shack, see Bob for your parking pass. If Bob runs out of parking passes, then we might get more later!
Bob, I expect a roaring fire when I arrive, and you better not get my trees!
Have fun and be safe y'all.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
I plan to arrive by 3:00 see you all then

Maybe someone will snag about 10 more passes, if guard shack has anyone there
I'm working this weekend, so let me know if you need more.Originally Posted by Phantom Grappler

Please be familiar with the early signs of hypothermia and keep an eye on each other.
With the forecasted winds, someone might want to bring an extra tarp in case a gust rips through the amphitheater.
Safe travels & see y'all tomorrow!

Thank you very much for the thorough information Marci.

Alright peeps....just trying to make sure I'm not going to be the "problem child" for the weekend.....
My current plan:
- Tarp w/doors
- HG 20F Incubator UQ
- JRB 20F Mt Washington UQ
- Underquilt Protector
- Fleece Liner
- Katabatic 30F TQ
- Loco Libre 20F TQ
That should be adequate for the temps we're looking at this weekend correct?
Looks good

Hard for me to say, but I would think so.
I have used a 20-degree top and bottom in single digits and been warm, but I have always used an insulated air mat in the hammock too.
A pad of some kind might not be a bad addition or back up.
The underquilt protector should add some warmth.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
Also if any one need it I’m have a extra set of zeros quilts
