Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
Absolutely. We can spread out or split up or whatever it takes. We can take a couple campsites near each other if we are too many for one.
Here is the meeting plan. Be at the main restrooms at Albert Pike on Rd 369 next to the campground host at 8:00 am 03/05/2010.
I have a blue F-150 with Texas plates. You can't miss us.

Hey Mark,
We've actually meet, last year cutting logs on Caney Cr. Trail. You, Ed, Tom and Janet, and me. At least I think you're the same Mark.
If you guys are leaving from the Little Mo - Athens Big Fork trailhead, I'll meet you there. I come in from the north off Hwy 8.

Hey,
Is that you Mark? You've got to come along. I sent you an e-mail invite when I first started planning this. We'll meet you at the top so you don't have to drive down to AP.
Look for us around 8:30.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
I'd really like to go on this hike as well. I'll check with the "events scheduler" and get back to y'all w/ a definite answer as soon as I can. I've done this loop 4-5 times but can't seem to get enough of it. :-)

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
I have 8 yes and 1 maybe here. I count 7 yes's from AB. We could split up into a fast group and a slower group and try to camp near each other. Of course you never know how many will be at the traihead.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
Like I said before, I won't be able to make it there until friday night, at which point I'll have to try and find at least one group of you in the dark.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
If I'm the maybe then you can now count me in. I got the OK from my sweetie pie and I have my work covered on that Friday.
Looks like I'll now be driving in early that morning and meeting at the trailhead. It's a 5-1/2 hr drive so I'll be a little sluggish in the afternoon. Nothing that a cup of joe won't remedy.
I'll join the slow group and will plan to hike the 11, 11, and 5 miles averaging roughly 2 mph.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
Well I am still kind of teetering back and forth. I am planning on coming but if work comes up then I will have to be at work. I cant afford to miss it.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
Bad News. I was at Albert Pike this weekend and there are no tent camping sites open to the public. Loops A&B are closed ( I think they open April 1st) and Loop C is leveled so they can rebuid it. There are a few RV sites but that is it.
Do we want to rethink our meeting place? We could maybe meet at the RV restrooms near the remote parking area.

Re: Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike
The RV restrooms sound like a logical place to meet. What is the official meet time?
