Itinerary:

We will meet at the trail head parking area off of Dobbs Drive which is off of Oxbo Road.  Turn onto Dobbs Drive off of Oxbo, then go up the hill.  Soon you will come to a parking area on the right that has a few spaces for day users of the trail.  See the red circle (well it's kind of a circle anyway.  Looks more like a house) in the map shown. Look for the brown signs that say something about Parking for the Pedestrian Bridge.

Since the Parks are closed because the government thinks we need to be punished because they are unable to run things, we won't go into the park unless we get lost or something.

I thought it would be appropriate to change the promo shot to one of Cades Cove from Gregory Bald in the GSMNP one February.

We will start at event start time on the nose or earlier if everyone gets there early.
