i check weather.com for linville falls, morganton, and blowing rock and they're all gonna be in the high 20s for the low and the mid 40's for the high...

just wondering if y'all know something that i might not...

I rekon we aught to brang a bunch o firewood huh?I'm thinking with as many peeps as we have going on this trip we might could actually carry firewood into Saturday's campsite as well especially since it is down hill.I would vounteer to carry some if everyone else will.Most of the time that campsite is pretty picked over.
