Itinerary: | |||||||
The weather keeps getting better so....time for a last minute backpack trip on the Chattooga River Trail. Here's the plan.....After driving to the trail head at Russell Bridge, we'll hike about 4 miles to the area around Lick Log Falls and set up camp. There are several large areas to set up camp but it is 'first come first serve' so we may have to hike a little extra to find unoccupied space. We'll have lunch and then scout the area and gather firewood for the evening. With the remaining daylight, feel free to hang by camp relaxing, reading, fishing (permit required) and doing photography. We can hike around if you like as well. As night falls, we'll hang around the fire, have our dinners and chat. Maybe someone will bring a guitar, harmonica or other instruments and sing a song or two.... On Sunday, we'll take our time to have breakfast and break down camp no later than 10:30am or so and hike back to the cars. There will be a 3 dog limit. Must be friendly and behaved. Expect to drive your own car if you bring your dog. Leave no trace, paper products only to be burned in fire please! Arrange with trip leader or other friends PRIOR to event if you plan to/need to share any equipment. Thanks to Jay G for some of this original write up! | |||||||
