Hanging with DetailMan, Poof, Roach, and Wisenber on the short jaunt to Forney Creek from The Road to Nowhere out of Bryson City.
This was my first time in this part of the park. Poof and I night hiked in to campsite 74 where we met the other hangers the next morning.
Many highlights as always on a group hang-DetailMan is an awesome DIYer, Roach and Wisenber entertaining as always. We picked up lots of good fly fishing pointers from Wisenber and DetailMan. I really enjoyed playing with the GrizzJet (felt burner) in conjunction with a Caldera Cone (the Caldera Fissure specifically). Made a mental note that campsite 74 is a very cold place to hang-Wisenber pointed out that the little valley it is in is in a direct chute from Clingmans Dome so there was always a minor or greater cool to cold wind dropping from the high peak to the lake and over us! Would be an advantage in July.
Here is the vid (Walter, you'll have to suffer through a bit of Mountain Ocarina so skip the first part):
