Hey John, 7:00 am Saturday at Kennesaw Mt - my only hiking window this weekend (taking the family to the Falcons game Sunday). Lemme know if you can make it. Just like last weekend, I'll carry 10 pounds, you carry 35. Works fer me dude.
Everyone else, catpappy will be out there to do a multi-nighter on Whitney in less than two weeks - his 3rd or 4th time. Ya'll treat my homeboy good and somebody buy him a Moose Drool or two at the Portal for me.
I'll keep my options open on the whole snowshoeing thing. The way I saw it, though, is:
Snowshoes - $130 to $170
Waterproof boots - $125 to $150
Snow/rain pants - $75 to $100
Snow/winter shell - $100 to $150
Snow trekking poles - $120 to $150
I own none of these, being a 3-season hiker (4 in Georgia). Would all these not be absolutely necessary hiking up the Portal Road in February?
