September 3-6 | Labor Day Weekend Backpacking/Camping - Update The main goal here is to have as much fun as possible over the course of the three-day weekend! If you also enjoy backpacking, this trip would be just that. Swimming in mountain lakes? Hiking up 1 or 2 (or even three? can we do one each day?) 46er peaks? Giving up routine comforts for a few days to enjoy the wilderness? SOUND FUN? The plan now is to do a one-way through hike, with car shuttle, from the north Giant Mountain trailhead to the Elk Lake trailhead via Giant Mountain (4627') and Dix Mountain (4857'). Total miles are 24 over the three days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). There are two lean-twos along the way in strategic places, abundant water and amazing views. Alternatively, if not enough peole are interested in backpacking, we can camp near the road and still do dayhikes up both Giant and Dix (Dix would be a long one). Or, there is an option to do just one night of backpacking, if weather becomes a concern. Parts of this 24 mile route could be challenging for beginners, but not too difficult to overcome if you bring enough enthusiasm. Other gear required would include a comfortable backpack large enough to fit a panda bear inside, summer-weight sleeping bag, thermarest, tent arrangements and two water bottles (full of enthusiasm??). We will leave friday afternoon, make the five-hour drive, and camp just before the traihead. We would emerge from the woods on Monday in time to get Bar-B-Que on the deck at the Noonmark diner and make it back to Rochester by 10pm. Those who are definitely going will meet on Monday, August 30th @ 7pm at
the Old Toad to figure out final details. In the meanwhile, please contact
Eric to say you're in, or just say that you think you may more fun ideas.
