Caney Creek Wilderness Trip
Ok I am planning on going into the Caney Creek Wilderness area this week. Probably will be Tuesday
morning, I have some things that I must do on Monday. I want to start on the Buckeye Trail and
from there is anyones guess! I want to camp the first night above Katy Falls. I would like to go west
but if the water is up I will change my plans. I thought about checking out the old trail some
also. I will be doing some trail work BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO! Best guess is to come out at the
E. trail head Fri. morning or afternoon.
As you can see I am flexible and you can come out at anytime. Let me know if you like to go.
The weather doesn't look bad for the week. Weather.com shows at the most 30% chance of
showers and accuweather.com doesn't even show a chance. Since I will have my trailworking
tools, including a saw firewood won't be a problem!
Let me know here...

Re: Caney Creek Wilderness Trip
I would also like to mention that I am not trying to take anyone away from the Mt. Magazine
trip! I need to stay close to home. I have a wilderness area within 45 min. of the camper,
should I say more? If anyone might like to hike a day or to and still make the Magazine trip
for the weekend you are welcome. If not I don't mind hiking solo! Still a little concerned
about my knee and this will be a good test.

Re: Caney Creek Wilderness Trip
Well I made it back. No snow. Just rain and very foggy weather. Took a bad tumble
on the Buckeye Trail were a section of trail gave out from under me. Banged up my
right knee (the replaced one) and scraped up my right calf pretty bad. I just kept
putting one foot in front of the other I new that if I stopped that would be it for me!
I will post pics in the morning...

Re: Caney Creek Wilderness Trip
Yes you can. When fishing for bluegill you usually use light equipment
so the wind may carry the bait down the water which may cause you to
re-cast quite often. Also, when you are fishing with kids, the most
important thing is to keep them interested. When they catch a fish,
congratulate them and tell them what a good job they did. Some tips for
bluegill fishing are use worms and little bits of them on small hooks.
Bobbers also work well but since it's windy I would probably avoid them.
Good luck fishin' with the little tikes!
