Backpacking at Dolly Sods!

OVERVIEW

Foxfields Shmoxfields…let’s go backpacking instead!

We’re heading to Dolly Sods- an amazingly beautiful wilderness area in the mountains of West Virginia. Check it out:

We’ll leave Friday afternoon, drive 3 hours there, grab some dinner and hike the 1-2 miles to the campsite. Saturday, we’ll hike 8-10 miles and camp out. On Sunday we’ll make the 5-6 mile trek back to the car and drive on home.

I’m setting the departure time for 4 PM on Friday, but that’s somewhat flexible depending on people’s schedules. Expect to be back Sunday evening, probably around 6.

You’ll need to provide:
Any gear (sleeping bag, backpack) that you have- we’ll go over this after you join
Appropriate (non-cotton!) clothes
Sturdy Hiking Shoes
Bowl/ eating utensil
Water
Money for meals on the way there and back

The club provides:
Communal gear (tents, etc), and any gear you may need
Gas Money
Food

I put the fee at 0, but if I have to go over the food budget, people may have to pay a small amount. Otherwise, everything’s covered but dinner Friday and dinner Sunday (if we stop). I’ll waitlist everyone until I work out cars. Get excited!
