Caught the Bug
I know there is some scattered interest in doing this run and thought now was as good a time as any to perhaps start putting a group together for running it sometime in March .. while I have never run it myself I know there are a few here who have and perhaps they just might wish to do so again ... so here is my thought and when I myself would like to run it ...
I'm looking at either the first or second weekend in March so a meetup either on the 3rd or the 10th at Clayton state park , camping that night there , figure this will give everyone a chance to rest up , meet up and get to know each other , check out rigs and so on ....... then come sat morning we head out .. cover some trail , take pics , videos , enjoy the scenery... spend sat night camped out , may be spread out some depending on how many of us there are and how much room there is in the places for it ...but my understanding is there is state parks off the trail a bit and places along the trail as well ... then Sunday run either what ever happens to be left or however much we can manage while still leaving ample time for those who wish to depart and head for home at a reasonable hour .. I personally would like to cover the entire route even if it runs over into Monday in order to do so and am even considering a portion of the high water mark trail afterwards since I will be taking a vacation whichever week this run happens ......
so if this brings about enough interest we can make it a official run and figure out lead and tail spots ...... what to bring as far as gear and all that other good stuff that you never realized you needed till you forgot it at home ...
