First thing I’m telling the office guy tomorrow are these dates I don’t care how busy work is

Oh man, right in my backyard. I better get started fixing the Mud Hen. Keep in mind, I'm only a few hours away and anybody that needs to regroup, fix or whatever can stop over at the farm. More than welcome.

 

[wngrog]

This is one of the best groups of trails in the south too. Superb place

 

[REKCUT]

Unique and diverse area.

I've been around that area so many times in life, but never knew that trail was there. We're looking forward to checking it out.

Actually a maze of trails. A guy could easily get lost in there.

Time of year and dates are ideal for me .. look forward to it..

I thought this might have been around the gold country in CA. Angels Camp has all kinds of Mark Twain influence because he spend some time there and wrote "The Jumping Frogs of Calaveras County".

 

[Godwin]

Trip prep. Picked up a map of the National Forest through the USGS map store.

 

[Godwin]

Not that I don't trust our intrepid tour leaders but I like to know where I am, where I'm going, and where I've been.

Hey Godwin,

My buddy has done a lot of hiking in that area and saids he found Collared Lizards there. I've never seen one in the wild.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Hey Guys,

I've been working on firewood and thought there aren't many guys from Mo. going to bring legal firewood. If you think we could use it and I could get a military trailer in the trail, I'll bring a load with me. Let me know Leaders.
