I have the Hiker American: Alabama book and it's pretty good. I also have the Alabama Trails book and it sucks.

One thing though, the Hike American Book has directions to the big tree and it takes you up West Bee Branch.

SS-did you recieve three emails? I got a error message on the last one containing map 5.

dayhiker-no problem, I'll have to wait about 45 min. I've got a meeting momentarily.

OPIE-your email is "over quota".

Yep, dyna has my double naught secret email address. ;)

The spam to wanted email ratio is about 1000:1 on that address anyway, ha ha. A whole lot of people thinks my pee pee needs to be bigger.

I never knew so many strangers were interested in my sex life too. I don't know whether to be comforted or scared.

I just emailed everyone that is likely going an email update.

Dynamo, the emails are coming in. Thanks.

Those are the official maps. I can plot those on my 36" wide plotter and won't need to buy one.

Count one Steel fabricator as a "probably". I probably can't run with the Computer Programmers, but may be able to stir the Engineers. I may be able to get another computer programmer to go; he'll be my backup.

Anyway, would it be possible for those who hike in early Friday to mark the trail at the campsite for those of us hiking in at night.

Night Hiking is going to be interesting; I'll need all the help I can get.

Dang it! I ain't going if Miss Opie can't. I think I'll go to Huntsville instead and console her about being left behind by that OPIE guy! ;)

Doesn't divinity live in Huntsville? Is this another TT romance?

SS, are you heading to Huntsville since OPIE is going on this trip, thereby leaving Ms OPIE unguarded?

Yea, that will teach him not to take her along, ha ha. ;)

The good money still says you're going to see divinity. Just a hunch.

Can we suggest a new name for StoveStomper?

I'm thinking "AlleyCat" would be more appropriate...lol...

No, not divinity, but she is dang cute and a nice hiker to boot. ;)
StoveStomper

OPIE, are you referring to AlleyCat and your better half, AlleyCat and divinity, or AlleyCat and this mystery lady, or all 3?

I just checked the temps and they're adjusting to high 20's. abc3340.com has the most accurate Birmingham weather. We'll be a little over an hour east of B'ham so take that with a grain of salt. They showed moring rain on Friday. weather.com showed 40% chance of rain on Friday and accuweather.com didn't show rain at all.

Someone told me that there is a chance of snow for the huntsville area this weekend. I haven't seen that in the forecast, but if there is precipation along with the freezing temps.. it could be possible.

i'm running a 103 degree temp right now...i'm currently not gonna be able to make this trip.

Then this should make sense to you, OPIE
Put the dog in the red farm tree. It will make the blue corn computer sound, and then wiggle your doom. Hopefully then the alien bucket zoom will glow, and your fever will turn the Television towards Mecca.

Good Luck.

Everybody has either had a sickness or catastrophe befall them. One guy signed up on this site and I don't know how to get in touch with him. This trip is possibly going to be radically changed. I'll post when I know more. Currently, I would be soloing the first night. Cocoa would be arriving Sat and would miss all the creek hiking, which is his favorite. We may actually wind up going over to Sipsey to recon for the trip in March. I'll post when I know more.
