Itinerary: | |||||||
Join a fun group of folks for some easy backpacking on the CRT. After driving to the trail head at Russell Bridge, we'll hike about 4.0 miles to Lick Log Falls and set up camp. There are several large areas to set up camp including a great place practically right beside the falls. We'll have lunch and then scout the area and gather enough firewood for the evening. With the remaining daylight, feel free to hang by camp or we'll form several groups for small hikes around camp. (There are some other falls with in .5-1 mile of Lick Log Falls) As night falls, we'll hang around the fire, have are dinner, and talk turkey. Jay may even bring his trusty backpacking guitar and sing a song or two. On Sunday, we'll take our leisurely time to have breakfast and break down camp. We'll head back to Russell Bridge no later than 11am. | |||||||
