    Question

    Anyone(s) willing to officially lead a hike (or two?) at Radnor Lake State Natural Area that afternoon and get back in time for dinner as scheduled?

    If so, please shoot me a message and let me know.

    Right now, the South Cove Trail is scheduled (hopefully) to be re-opened (after many months of repair following the May flooding "landslide") on March 1st. I am asking them for a special pre-Grand-re-opening hike for our group. We'll see.

    Rain Man, my wife and I will definitely be there! I wish we could help out throughout the day, but I can only make it to the dinner because of work, see you there!

    Rain Man, I will be there as earlier noted, but, now I'll be bringing Jim. If I don't have to work, we'll be there for the hike.

    No, I don't get it! (If you can pun, so can I.) LOL

    I see under your WB name that you've hiked Springer to Front Royal. I'll be caught up with you this May!

    See you Saturday.

    Just bumping this thread up, as the event is this Saturday.

    I'm not sure who all is coming to what, but that's okay. I hope to see some of you at 8:00 on Saturday morning for the Radnor Lake Volunteer Day, working on the South Cove Trail.

    Then at 1:30 anyone who wants to carpool can meet in the parking area between REI and Ruby Tuesday. We will then drive to Radnor Lake and meet up at the Visitors Center to begin a group hike around 1:45 to 2:00. Meet us there if you prefer. We'll do Ganier Ridge for sure (can see downtown Nashville from up there) and hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) might get to do the South Cove Trail (before its official opening next month). Those constitute the big loop at Radnor and are about 5 miles total. We do it in about 2 hours. Folks who prefer can walk the Lake Trail, which is flat.

    Dinner is at 5:00 at Ruby Tuesday and we have three dozen folks signed up now. I'm about to warn the manager, as I do every year.

    After dinner you can shop at REI before "Donnor" does his '10 thru-hike presentation at 7:00.

    Keep updating those RSVPs as you know them. Am looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!

    Just got the reply from the head ranger: NO to hiking the South Cove Trail.

    We will do the South Lake Trail, and Ganier Ridge Trail, and Lake Trail, in some order or the other. This shortens the distance a bit and lessens the difficulty. The hike will take about an hour and a half. We'll be done around 3:30.

    Yes, I'll be patrolling the Georgia section as the ridgerunner.It is fun and fullfilling to be working with all the starters on Springer-albit a challenge to get some to understand LNT and it's positives for them.It is also kind of funny that all the droped gear is worthless and not useable .We start 2-25.Hope you guys have a great hike and meeting.

    Rain Man, I may have to cancel. I'm sick as a dog right now. I'll have to see how I feel on Saturday.
