Linville Gorge 10th Annual

“the locals know it as kistler highway, but it shows up on mapquest as county line road

find linville falls on mapquest. from the 183/221 junction, go for about half a mile or so. where 183 swings northeast, turn right onto kistler highway/county line road goes south

as soon as someone tells me what fricking trailhead we're going to be close to, i can tell y'all the rest, since the people who actually know where the campsite is seem intent on keeping the rest of us in the dark”

“goddammittt somebody fix the fracking edit feature

from the 183/221 junction, go southeast on 183 for about half a mile to get to kistler”

“come into the town of linville falls.turn onto 183 take to first curve and u will just go straight onto gravel road.follow almost 3 miles and camp will be on right.its right at a series of steep hills.ill post road conditions when I get back to the good ole south.my boys and I are at sunday river in maine and the skiing still isn't as good as sugar or beach mtn.new hampshire was good we hiked up tuckerman ravine and went to a place called the flume as well.no pickin parlors no bbq no shine and seems they need electric for every instrument.”

“follow almost 3 miles

so that sounds like it could be between wisemans view and babel tower trailhead”

“Sunday River moonshine?! Do you know an Eric List that works there?”

“wow we now have 20 people going to this trip
might need a bigger camp site”

“this is a tt trip. you can count on half of them bailing”

“this is true crash but i do know i will be there”

“spam just told me the campsite is between babel tower and cabin trailheads”

“i talk to lunchmeat”

“Thanks for the directions. I was beginning to think no one was on tt at all. I have a vague idea of where its at, waiting on a reply for Spam, who I first went to for info there troll hunter or is it fridgy?”

“Jesus, y'all might hafta start a new thread, and this time keep the thread narry!”

“karo, it's this simple:

from the 183/221 junction in linville falls, go southeast on 183 for about half a mile to kistler memorial hyway/county line road. turn right and go south on kistler for about 2 miles. it will be on your right, just after the cabin trailhead, and just before the babel tower trailhead

that is all”

“thanks, I finally found a decent map online and now have an idea where it is.”

“Hey CB, where was that campsite again ... LMAO, I bout spit my Jingling!”

“Ape are you gonna grace us with your presnce this year?????”

“Heyul-far no Spam! I hate it, but the boss has other plans. Ain't no way on bailing on her this time, hehe.

Howzyur band doing?”

“awww cmon. i want some more cubans”

“I plan on being on this camp out.”

“LOL, I bout forgot about that. Would you believe I have only one more left! bummer

Yeah I shore'd like to be there.”

“Naked ape go and wash your dishes and make the bed.”

“LOL, hey Spam is this Troll Hunter and Knuckles the same heckerpead?”

“Maybe it is Fridge or Hyway.

Hyway is more of a knuckle-dragger......if I had to choose twixt the two.”

“Why don't you show up and find out Ape.”

“I'd like to thank it ain't Hyway. But the 2 are definitely the same bored dimwit. They both just up outa the blue started hacking on me on 2 different threads nearly at the same time.”

“Shore enough TH, I always gotta spare can in my pack.”

“How cold will it be there?”

“Last year it hit -4F saturday morning. Saturday only got up to about 10F. Hopefully this year will be much warmer.

Current forecast for trip weekend is as follows according to accuweather:

Friday: increasing clouds high 30 low 14

Saturday: Snow High 28 Low 13

Sunday: clearing High 26 Low 8

I am sure this will change in the comming days.

“it was really nice when i was there 3 years ago. it was decemeber or january, and i was hiking down without a shirt”

“1. Drive south on Kistler/rt 1238 until you see a large group of people, dogs, and tents
2. Slow your @ass down so you can visually I.D. vehicles, people, or dogs.
3.Once correct group location is visually verified...park vehicle and set up tent after a group harassment.

Worked for me so I am confident it will for you also...now get your effing panties out of a wad. Want me to bring some xanax to chill you out!”

“we (me, windi, and coyote) might be the first ones there. looking for a "large group" would be no help at all”

“And I doubt that will happen...unless you are flying or maybe moonshine, JB, and Spam(the organizer of this trip) have recently moved out of NC. Unless you are leaving earlier than 5:00 a.m. CDT Friday you will not beat me. Stop being such a Hoosier.”

“i will hang a sign thats says trail talk like the one i had at trail days”

“Unless you are leaving earlier than 5:00 a.m. CDT Friday you will not beat me.

we are possibly leaving thursday afternoon or evening

“I think I will stand at the bottom of the mountain and holler "Hootie Hoo". Then a TT'er will answer me back and I'll find my way from there!”

“ill b there as well fridge.maybe we can get breakfast at Louises fri morning.to save room im gonna set a camp just past the main site up on the hill.ill throw a tarp on the big site wed to save it.the restrooms about a mile from the camp should be open as well.no water im sure though.”

“I'll prolly set up camp across the road like last year.”

“Breakfast sounds good Moonshine.

“JB you are making it too easy!!! Come on...yank on CB's chain a little...you just have to watch out for his reflex punch. heheheh”

“you know im going with you, windi”

“Looks like quite a few have signed up in the last couple of days. I'm excited to meet some new TT'ers and catch up with old friends.”
