Description


meet at buena vista family restaurant 9am saturday morning for AYCE mexican breakfast bar. any last minute shopping if necessary, then on to hog camp gap.

directions for those who want to go straight to trail: from the parking area where the AT crosses US 60, head north towards buena vista approximately 1 mile. turn right on hyway 634 (if you're coming thru buena vista, go approximately 8 miles past town and turn left on hyway 634). go approximately 1 1/2 mile. turn right on hyway 755/usfs 48. go 2 or 3 miles to where AT crosses road and park. head north on trail and look for big open area on left.

ive never driven here, this is just what im figuring out by looking at the trail map. i would suggest getting the map if you dont know the area, just in case. its map 5, pedlar ranger district, g. washington natnl forest

i dont have a grill, it would be great if someone could bring one. if someone does, i will bring the meat. i may do something other than hamburger this time, maybe chicken or pork chops. last time on max patch, with all the billions of stars in sight, i was inspired to consider bringing a telescope. there is one i can borrow, it may take some sweet-talking. ill bring other fun and games like frisbee, lawn darts, croquet and whatever else i can find. parTAY!
