Description


Lets do what we do best, Eat and day hike.
Plan is to meet at the camp ground (Red Creek)there at Dolly Sods Nov 25th. If we have a problem with snow then plan B is to meet at Roaring plains FS road 70 just off of RT 19. Plan C will be iffin we have a grunch of snow and cannot get into the high country. That plan is still in planning. We have lots of options.
This is a car camping trip so bring your camp furniture.

WE NEED FOODS.. I plan on bringing a Turkey Breast and Spiral Ham. Coleman lanterns and stove.


DIRECTIONS
From Petersburg: follow WV 42 north to Jordan Run Road. Turn left onto Jordan Run Road and proceed approximately 5 miles to Forest Road 75. Turn right and go 4 miles to the Dolly Sods Scenic Area. Continue south on FR 75 until you come to the camp ground.
Another route from Petersburg is to follow WV 28/55 south to Jordan Run Road. Turn right and go 1 mile to Forest Road 19. Turn left and follow FR 19 6 miles to the Dolly Sods Scenic Area. The wilderness is directly ahead of you at the intersection with FR 75. Turn right on FS 75 and continue to the camp ground several miles on your left..
From Seneca Rocks: go north on WV 28/55 to Jordan Run Road, and turn left. Then follow the instructions directly above these.


If we do Plan B continue on FS rd 19 instaed of taking a right on FS 75 to Red creek campground stay on 19 a few more miles passing the first Trail Head S prong on your left and approx 2 tenths mile FS 70 on your left. Continue on FS 70 for a couple miles as have several camps along this road and you cannot miss us.
I do have maps.
