Isn't that sad? I've lived here in Indiana all my life (except for my time spent in the Army) and I've never even heard of this place. What other interesting areas do we have?

Hi sbmchee, (how is that pronounced?) We do need to get together for a few Indiana backpack/ hangs. There are many places we go. There is a place on Hayes Branch, on Hayes Creek, then there is Panther Gap, and Panther Creek, Terrell Pond and the old stone house that is NW of it a mile or so. There is of course the Axium and Sycamore branch trails that start and end at the tower of Tower Ridge Road. There is Brown Hollow and Bad Hollow, the Peninsula out on the John Grub Ridge and Patten Cave out there too. There is seldom seen Crescent Valley that sets in the middle of the Sycamore Branch loop, and Miller Ridge from Crooked Creek Lake. Then there is seldom seen Jones Hollow that sets NE of the North side of the Sycamore Branch and Terrell Pond, and many others. The next four of my posts will have some photos of those places, Mule

CamperDave's 11 oz stool? MulieMan suggested that be put in the campfire ... (talk)

Let it be said, let it be done .................

I didn't get a good look at Grizz's pack, but I couldn't believe how small Mule and Dave's packs were for a winter trip. What size packs did you carry and what weight were you carrying?
Dave had his DIY bamboo pack. Amazing! That is his biggest pack and I am guessing it is about 2000 cu inches. Dave had two Hudson River quilts, a DIY hammock and tarp, two liters of water and food. 21 pounds (est).
Mine is a 40 Liter, 2400 cu in Aarn, but with two 3.5 liter, 213 cu in front pockets, and they were not full, just stuffed with whatever I had small enough to put in. I had an Old Rag Mountain and a No Sniveler quilt with a Blackbird hammock and a Warbonnet SuperFly Shelter, and carries a Slinglight Chair, three liters of water and food, 27 pounds (est).

Mule,
That would definitely be cool. Being a newbie to this game, I'm sure there is a lot I can learn. From your pics, there is still lots of nice areas around here still left to explore. The only bad thing is I about to lose the time I have for fun. My wife is about to take a job at the hospital that requires her to work 12 hour days all weekend. That would require me to stay home on the weekends watching our 5 yr old boy and 1 yr old girl. Then M-F I'm at work. The sacrifices we all make as parents.....
