Weekend Off

Hail Mighty Warriors (and the clerics and ranger too) (and Malikar) (and Loki),

I have scheduled my camping trip for May 21-23 so I won't be able to play on May 20th. I need to leave home at about 3am on Saturday in order to get to the lovely Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky (www.lbl.org) by 9am. Yeah, I know, "You're going to get up at 3 in the morning so you can drive 6 hours, carry 40lbs of camping equipment up and down hills for 25 miles while sleeping on the ground, eating dehydrated food and shitting in a hole in the dirt that you have to dig yourself?" Hell yes. If anyone is interested in our route, you can check out the Park map at the LBL website http://www.lbl.org/LBLGeneralMap.pdf. We'll be leaving from the Golden Pond Trailhead on Saturday (after saying "Hi" to Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn), heading north on the North-South Trail & spending our first night near Rhodes Bay (about 8.5 miles) hopefully with a campsite by the lake. Sunday we'll continue northward and camp somewhere between Sugar Bay and Duncan Lake (another 8-9 miles). On Monday we'll hike the Nature Station Connector Trail to the Nature Station Trailhead where we'll have left the other car (about 6 miles or so). That's the plan at least. I'm pretty excited.
