On the snow my bad, don't know why I was thinking your trip was this weekend. At the time we were getting
a heavy wet snow! In fact our school let out at one today.

Weather conditions are improving! Higher chances of rain have moved out to Sunday. Maybe by the middle of the week they'll be out to Monday?

Can we get a final count / summary of how many, when, and where?

That's awesome - we'll certainly be blazing a trail with that many. Looking forward to it.

Hey Y'all! I'm one of Eddies guys from Memphis. I'll be there sometime Thursday afternoon. I drive a grey Ford Focus with a bike rack and a roswell ribbon on the back. I look forward with hiking with you all.

Hey guys, I may have to back out. Started having some knee issues over the weekend. I'll rest it another day or two and see how it feels midweek. Could maybe hike in from the Winding Stairs trailhead Fri. afternoon and see how it feels, then continue on or hike back out to my vehicle.

Gotta take care of those joints! I've been drinking "joint juice" for the past two months and it seems to help. Also changed my workouts and stopped doing whatever made them hurt. Plus got my pack weight to under 30 lbs. But, the ERL could change all that?

Weather is really starting to shape up! I'm thinking no rain cheers...

A couple of years ago I was backpacking/camping/fishing at LBL and it poured rain almost the whole time I was there, but it was still better than being back home with my now ex-almost mother-in-law. My tent wasn't waterproofed, and I was soaking wet, but at least I didn't have to deal with a toilet that backed up and over-flowed
