Roan Mountain

“okay folks....today (24hrs) is last chance to contact me if needed. Am departing for mountains and will not be available effective tomorrow at 9 am. Will meet at carvers gap and decide from there if no one gets in touch. Would at least like to know what kind of vehicle im looking for. i drive an Isuzu”

“I was up there Saturday and the Rhododendran had barely started to bloom...that was a tad disappointing since the ones at Black Balsam were about 1/3 further along last weekend...the hike out to Roan Mtn Bluff was nice and the view was excellent.

Hope whoever goes has a great time..wish I could join you.

“We should be at Carver's gap or at the Gardens around noon on Friday. If we take Little Bit's White Blazer, Look for it. Do you carry the FRS radios? If you do contact us on them if you want. I will probably leave them in the truck after that. See ya There!”

“We will surely miss you!”

“no i dont have radio....just cell...white blazer ill look for...if you dont see mine go to top ill be there....”

“See ya there stick, I'll have Little Bit and Flamegirl with me. If the shelter is full, we plan to tent camp.”

“How bad were the bugs on the mountaintops at Roan? I am debating on whether to bring my bug screen to sleep under.”

“Just wondered if anyone has heard from Gemini? If she is going to meet us too?
