I'm tentatively planning to come Sunday for 9am. I'd like to know in advance what time to expect to be back, so I can plan the rest of the weekend... and I can choose whether or not to wine and dine afterwards.

Leave around 9-9:15, probably summit near 12pm, back down at the lot around 3? I don't have a timestable for last year. It's going to be an attack from the same side of the mountain though.
Personally, I would play it by ear and if you have time for after-hike activities then go for it otherwise grab a burger on the way home. The pizza place we found last year was acceptable and had cheap beer
Everyone ok with 9am?

I'm only a 1/2 hr away so I will be at the main parking lot around 8:45 am. Post activity participation will depend on time. Weather looks good right now but if raining or snowing (which I doubt) I will have to cancel so don't wait for me.

I am planning to camp there sat night. should be getting there anytime bt 3 and 6 - coming from up north.
whats the deal - I have never camped there, do we pay there, or do have have to do some BS and reserve first. too lazy to read the regs.
do they have a problem with alcohol? some state parks don't allow that.

Giggy,you pay as you come in,I will already have a site booked.Just ask for the VFTT site.
The only problem with alcohol is running out!
As long as we behave,it's not an issue.
If it's cold and windy,we can gather at the hikers cabin,otherwise it's a big campfire.
Firewood available there,but only till 5pm.
Pleae bring some if you can.

Hopefully I'll be there for the Sunday morning start, rain or shine. The only thing is, I just got a steroid shot in my foot for a swollen nerve (Morton's Neuroma) and it's feeling great now. But I'm joining Mtn Magic et al. on Whitface and Passaconaway on Saturday so I can't guarentee I'll be pain-free enough on Sunday. Don't wait up for me - I live only about a half hour away now, so if I'm coming I'll be there on time.

Bushwacking is out for me. With only one eye and poor vision in it, it is far to risky for me. So excuse me for backing out at the last minute. Have a nice weekend.

Current Forecast is for light showers Sat evening, ending early Sunday morning. Shouldn't be too bad at all. And Kerry13, I'm not going wacking, and others may want to stick to the trails.

I'd probably be up for that, assuming the main group will be heading up trails I've already been on. Is your friend that joined us last year going to be along?percious said:

How about the Black Precipice BW? Percious?
I'll be out there Saturday doing something. Sunday is out for me.
Maybe I'll swing by to say hi in the afternoon,if anyone is around yet.
Unfortunately,adult beverages will have to wait for me.

Most forecasts are now calling for the rain to hold off til Sunday evening! Barring unforseen circumstances I'll be there tomorrow around 6.

I'm bailing guys. Really sorry. Family emergency. I hate organizing a trip and then bailing last minute. It really kills me. PM me if you want to gripe. I can take it.
