On trips like this i like to pack/eat lite since whatever you take in you have to take out.

That's not what I hear. I hear you take everything but the kitchen sink.:flipoff2:
 
hey jimbo tried to pm you my phone number but your box is full...pm me your number so we can set a meeting time/spot!

up the trail a little further then there was trouble!! A full size bronco that was built to the teeth lost its fuel pump. We were able to hook them up with some gas to pour into the carb to get it out of the way.

so we finally make it into the campsite and there are people everywhere. Most of the tents belonged to a group of hikers who left soon after we arrived though. Then the rain began. An the wind that never ceased to blow.:crybaby:

I did not have a chance to go exploring with the other guys so hopefully they will find some uber cool spots for us to explore in the future.

Glad you guys had fun, hate I missed it cause it was hot as Hell here in Augusta this weekend.... 100 degrees both days and you guys are complaining about it being cold up there. Not fair!! Looks like you had to share the mountain with a few others. Did you run into an blue berry picking hippies??

Thanks for all the awesome pictures, can't wait to get back up there in October for the Cruise the parkway event!!
