GWNF Oct. 14-16

My wife and I are going back to the GWNF for the weekend. Camping, wheeling, gourmet food, fishing and a fire. Last week we scouted a perfect camping spot and want to claim it for ourselves. It is right next to a creek and fun trail we ran for over an hour ( I am sure it has a name, but....)

Anyone that is interested post up. It should be beautiful with perfect weather.

We will take plenty of pictures. Sorry you can't make it, this time. I am trying to plan as many trips between now and when my son gets here (I make it sound like a package coming in the mail)

With all the dry weather trees are already loosing their leaves. If we get some substantial rain in the next week or so, I am sure the landscape will change a great deal between now and then. It's like a switch gets flipped
I can't wait...Brandon has already started putting meals together. Homeade stew, oatmeal bread, pork ribs, pancakes (all organic and basiclly from scratch--damn the wife loves cooking)

There will be more than enough food. My buddy JP with a Heep + 2 cutie friends of my wife (very cool down to earth girls), my best friend Shawn with a mildly built 96 Tahoe (we lifted, never again) are joining us.

I am headed to Hull Street Outlet for surplus military gear. Going to pick up a dutch oven, rack for grilling, small axe, an extra tarp and I am also going to bring some firewood from my yard. I cut down a few trees last year, so we will have a good start.

Bring plenty of drinks (water and beer) I know we are having a bacon and egss, pork ribs and homeade beef stew. This will be camping at its' finest
