Savage Gulf again

“I will be in Savage Gulf on the 13-15th of July if anyone is interested in joining me!”

“Count me in. I'll be there.”

“hmmmmm”

“This is from the Savage Gulf map and brochure that you get from the ranger station:

"Summer temperatures average in the high 70s but may soar to 100 F and remain there for several days." And remember that heat comes with humidity.

No thanks for me. Savage Gulf is outstanding but not in July.”

“Steve, the forecast says highs in the mid 80's and lows in the 60's. Of course it will be humid, it always is here! lol”

“What trails will yall be on?”

“Hey all, you could try the south rim trail, a relatively level, dead easy trail, loops into an 18 mi hike, or back and out froms hobbs cabin at about 15 mi. this trail has 14 overlooks, with Savage falls,small stands of virgin timber???? good trail, on a hot, humid, summer afternoon.I'm game either way.”

“wwwandrr, looking at both trails, TXwoodswoman will be there too. It all depends on Mnutz being able to get off work Friday, we may need an easy place for him to catch up. I really want to do that side though. Glad you can make it!”

“I like the North Rim better myself. The overlooks are better.”

“I want to hear everything when you get home. Sorry I can't make it this time. It is a bitch for me to get away in the summer anyway.”

“MaryPhyl
If you get a chance when it cools down, Savage Gulf is worth the trip to the east.”

“BTW, will this be backpacking or slackpacking?”

“I'm an idiot. I posted that last one on the wrong thread.
It's late.”

“walkindude--I just looked at your photopoint pictures. Looks like all y'all (those southern girls taught me to talk like that) had a super trip.”

“Mnutz is out, so we can do any of them.”

“MaryPhyl
I've been hiking Savage Gulf for about 12 years now. It's an awesome place.
Thanks for checking out the pictures and good luck with the southern speakin lessons.”

“Yup, I'm in for sure..have my plane tickets in hand, yessirreee!!

If someone can't make the hike, but wants to join us in NASHVILLE for dinner on Sunday night, that would be a blast too..

BPbaby..we need to have a chat session and talk gear and who's bringing what..I've got my pocket rocket, but will need fuel..I have my filter/purifier (like the one Barb had)

Woooo HOoooo, to the woods!!!!!

WW”

“Yo TXWoman
Soon you and your brother will be able to swap SG stories.”

“wwwandrr, please email me at bpbaby42@aol.com.

Thanks”

“Yo Dude -

I am majorly dissappointed that I'll miss you this trip..catch you on the next one..we're talking about a Arkansas get together too...you interested??

I'm sure Sirpete's stories about SG will be far more exaggerated than mine could ever hope to be.

We're in the final one week countdown..if you're interested, let bpbaby or me know!!”

“Sounds like a hoot but I'll be heading to Florida while yall will be in the Gulf.
I do wanna try to get to Arkansas this winter. Don't know where yet.
The two trips I'm planning the most right now are the White Mountain trip and my North/South Trail (LBL) thru-hike.”

“I think it's safe to assume that the Savage Gulf area gets hiked more often by TTers than ANY other area of the US.”

“...must be a pretty rad place!”

“Does rad hang out there too???/”

“Yep. He was on the trip back in Feburary.”
