Sure, what the heck. Since it sounds like there will be little challenge due to (lack of) elevation change, why not tack on a few more miles.

Mapleleaf, are you going to leave poor Treebeard all alone with your alter ego? Tsk Tsk Tsk...

As for TNT, would you guys like the dynamite or the beverage? :D

sounds good. i won't be able to meet you guys until saturday morning (Can't come up fri night) and it takes me an hour and a half to get there, so 7:30am is not gonna be happening : )

i'll just meet you guys at lower forge campsite that night and hike in from the memorial.

That far, huh? It takes me slightly less than an hour to get there, so I'll be a waiting...

(Boy, this will be the closest trip to home yet...)

well it takes me about an hour and a half to get to the visitor's center and then another 1/2 to 45 to get to where i'll be hiking in at the memorial.

With a start that early on Saturday I'm going to have to come up Friday night. Is there a site near the meeting location where I can set up Friday? Anyone else meeting on Friday evening?

there's many campsites. there's a really cool campsite by the memorial for friday night and the trailhead is right there (the trailhead i'm starting at).

the campsite is batona campsite. it's across the street from the memorial. then u can hop on the batona trail.

Thanks. Worst case if I get there after dark I can sleep in my car. Done that before at trailheads. I'm always worried about getting a ticket for doing that, though. Some park ranger bored at 3am, wake me up AND fine me AND force me to find a "legal" spot to sleep. Hasn't happened yet so I guess I'm being paranoid.
