Looks great! How would you describe the difficulty of the trails?

 

[GB Fraggle]

I don't know. I have not done them.

 

[BourbonRunner]

I might be interested in this trip, KAC if you search the trail on YouTube there's a few videos of the trail, I was checking it out a few weeks ago

 

[bubbles05]

I'm interested. I'll put it on the work calendar next week, no family conflicts so should be solid.

 

[Knapps Over]

Im interested. Putting it on calendar

 

[KAC]

About 90% certain we can do this. Looking forward to it.

 

[KAC]

Did the two people who say they're interested RSVP to hold their spots?

 

[BourbonRunner]

Should be able to make it, just gotta make sure I can get off of work.

Looks like a great trip, but I believe that is the same weekend as the Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival in western PA.

Be sure to post pics afterwards!

Same time as Mid Atlantic Overland Festival. [emoji45]

**Update**
This is turning out to be more popular than I thought. I had set the rig limit to 5 because I was unsure of the capacity of available camping and the logistics involved with large groups. However, I don't want to dissuade people from planning to come. I am going to keep the rig limit to 5 in the rally point listing, but I won't turn people away if they want to join. We can always divide up into smaller groups if needed.

 

[KAC]

Did the change-over knock everybody\'s RSVP out?

 

[GB Fraggle]

I think the recient site maintenance reset the RSVP.

 

[GB Fraggle]

Everybody should check to see if they are still listed as going. I think the change over reset the "Going" list?

Hi - Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on doing this loop in mid-April, terrain/weather wise. I’m searching for 3-5 day trip and came across this. Sounds interesting. Did Canaan Loop a few weekends ago. Camped. Mid-teens at night...Brrr.

 

[GB Fraggle]

There are several river crossings, but there are high water detours. Probably lots of mud. In April, weather is a wild guess at best; could be 80's could be snow.

Figured the weather would be a wild card. May have to rethink doing it solo.

Man we would have loved to do this but I’m a musician and I have gigs that weekend only in August. Go figure. We would have certainly came up from Winston Salem

Hey brother! Musician and off-roader too! We gotta play out on the trail some time!

It is funny how gigs fill up at random. Got like 20 dates in May and maybe four in August so far!
