Ok guy's and Gal's, here is the latest update.........Same plan only different
, lets keep the meeting up place the same, the route the same, and plan on tailgating in the black balsam parking lot, and day hiking or just chilling in some lawn chairs and soaking up the high mountain sun with tall cool one
, there is enough camping space for about 20-30 people within about a minute's walk of the parking lot, there is always a bunch of people up there during the day but after about 5:00pm the place is a ghost town.
(I am still working on clarification on if we can drive the road if the gate is open, so I will post asap when I get that clarification either way)
