Yeah pray for no snow of any measure. If it snows decent, they have been known to close the parkway... I think we are gonna warm back up to more seasonable temps this next week, as long as any more snow holds off we'll be good.

I'm just saying... Do anti snow dances or whatever needs to be done to ward off the snow/bad weather...
As much as I like snow I'm with Jay. If all works out this will be the first overnight UC trip Lori makes.

I'm with you Friday. Taking the day off, so plenty of time for me to wander up. Email me some coordinates, so I can use my GPS.
Unless something else comes up I will be there fri night, should have at least 1 other with me. What time are we meeting up fri night?

I am hoping to be up there around 4 to 5 so we can get into camp and set-up before dark; all depends on if the wifey can get off work early.
and rick I will shoot you some coordinates shortly

Currently there is snow on Mt. Pisgah, it is supposed to get warmer up there, and I can't imagine that they'd shut it down during peak season, but it is the National Park Service...

But you'd figure it'd be Steve that would be Debbie Downer, wah wah wah wahhhh...
Rick,
I'll be ATL for BSA training all next week and will be done before lunch on Friday. You want to ride up together? I'm guessing I'll be done around 10am and ready to hit the road shortly after.
I would like coordinates or at least a nearby area so I can check on timing and coordinating with work.
Sounds like a plan! Like I said, my time is flexible, so if you are delayed, I'm cool with that. I'll be packed and ready to go. You got a CB or FRS radio?

Okay this isn't GPS coordinates but it will do the trick. I've attached a link from Google maps just input you address and you've got directions to the trail head.
http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=3...053129&vpsrc=6&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=15&t=p&z=14
also might want to add 30-45 mins to your estimated time, lot of twisty mnt. roads

ha-ha, I just found this from the older thread...same basic info.
Alright guys,
Here is a little more info on what road you are looking for if you haven't been to the area before:
the road is Black Balsam Knob road (FS road 816) and is located roughly at Mile Marker 420 on the BRP Google Maps
should be able to type in your address and get directions to the parking lot at the Black Balsam hiking trail head. The 4wd drive road conitnues on NE past the parking lot. Just keep heading down the trail until you see some cruisers
