Coffee,

If I am able to go I will be heading through Knoxville. I would be happy to pick you up if that's the airport you choose.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I've been gearing up for COLD weather hanging and want to give this hang a try If anyone from OH, PA, WV area is driving down to this, let me know. I'd like to share ride.

Any date is fine by me since I'm still iffy on making it.

HC keep me in mind for a ride and all you have to do is get to Rt. 81. I probably will be going.

**HappyCamper** · 08-21-2008, 10:42

Thanks Dutch, but since I am over in Morgantown, WV, Rt. 81 is pretty much out of way. By time I get over to Rt. 81, I could be pretty far South on Rt. 79 heading toward Mt. Rogers.

So I'm looking for someone going down Rt. 79 South to Charleston, WV then Rt. 77 South, then only on Rt. 81 South for short time to Mt. Rogers.

But I appreciate the offer!

I'm certainly ready. Got some "heavy duty" down from the Jacks this time. Although that's where my addiction really took off, I have so much stuff now I doubt if they can corrupt me any further.

Will be nice to see everybody again.

So, is it time to post a poll for the hang out?

I vote for Feb 13, 14 & 15 as my 1st choice, Feb 20, 21 & 22 as 2nd choice.
The other 2 weekends are a push.

I suppose there should be a vote as to where we have it, but I think that the Wise shelter is a good place to continue. And, the privy is now enclosed, so,,,,,

But, if we want to change, my choice would be the Old Orchard shelter as an alternative: a bit further from a road, but in an almost hangers paradise of trees, in a bit more sheltered area than the Wise, with a great view from the shelter itself.

The main problems I see w/ Old Orchard is much more limited parking areas, & I'm not sure how often that road gets plowed when it snows.
Seams like I was told that when it does get plowed, they don't do anything to the parking area, so it may be piled up even more from what gets pushed off the road.

Yea, I figured, it was just a thought, you know "IF".
