I haven't heard from all of you, so this isn't set in stone. However, it looks like November 21, 22, and 23 (that's a Saturday through Monday, some of us will be taking the day off work) will work for those i have heard from. If this doesn't work for you, please speak up now! For those of you worried about taking a Monday off, we can also try to set the route in such a way that an early hike out is manageable Sunday evening.
Now, let's talk about where to go. I've had a couple of votes for Dolly Sods again. Is everyone happy with that? There are some other options too: Appalachian Trail (MD and/or WVA sections?), Moshannon (Allegheny Front Trail?), anyone else have anything?
Keep in mind, Dolly Sods is like a 4 hour drive...
Let me know what your vote is and if you have info on another good place to go. I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Any place we go (within driving distance) will be cold by the end of November. Start thinking about the cold weather gear you may need now so you can keep an eye out for sales, goodwill finds, hand-me-downs, etc. Remember NO COTTON and layers, layers, layers! If you want more info on what you may need, shoot me any email or text.

2015 BB Trip!!!
Hello All,
I'm reinstating the backpacking bitches blog in an effort to get us all communicating in one spot without resorting to the evils of Facebook. Plus some of you don't have Facebook accounts. If anyone has a better coordination tool, let me know!
Ok. So we should probably pick dates first... I'm sure we all have family plans/obligations for thanksgiving but let the group know other types of restrictions like if you think you can only manage one night or you feel we should remain fairly close to home in case of emergencies, etc
Let's plan the dates first and then we can look at the rest of the planning stuff:
- where to go
- what to pack
- gear sharing and/or rental
- food
I also want to say, I'd like to keep our group fairly small but if you have a friend that you know would love to come, I'm open to inviting whoever...
