Resting on Labor day @ barnes

[do_truancy]

I thought I would just get a jump on reservations for the Labor Day weekend...I scored the last site # 6 for Fri-Sunday night.

All are welcome, just pass me some cash if you stay. Here's hoping for good hiking, times and weather. I will try to bring and fly a flag even though its not a 48 peak!

Hmmmmm, Ya know if Aug 28th is a washout.. I think FunkyFreddy is also playing that Labor Day weekend... Maybe we can all just crash the party. My Barnes site was right next to #6 and #6 seemed like it had a huge parking spot... It was never occupied the entire time I was at Barnes and somebody finally moved into #4 (next to me on the other side) sunday night so it was pretty quiet all by my lonesome in #5. I bet every other huge group was wondering why me in my little backpacking tent was in Barnes field after all...

But then again, Barnes is a helluva drive to Moosilauke too...

Seems like the days of wild, all-night, VftT festivities at Barnes are a thing of the past?

Just bumping this post up- since the weekend is getting near, Barnes is reserved if there are hikers wanting a place to plot--all are welcomed. I had hoped to do a Pemi loop on the best weather day of the weekend but that was before breaking a bone in my foot into three.

as was stated no partying after 9.... yeah

I'm doing the freaking Great Gulf Trail if it kills me. Never done it all the way to Washington and this has to be the F'king weekend I do it!

I am thinking about redlining some trails in the Great Gulf up and down the northern Presi's on one day and a Wildcat-Moriah traverse on another. Any interest in a car spot for the W-M traverse?
