Devils Path Walk

[Zer0-G]

Hi All,
Here I go again. (I'm competing with Doodles for walking companions).
This is a little different this weekend.
This is an overnight backpack and a 22 mile walk on the devils path.
We'll be bagging - Indian head to Westkill. With a side trip to Southwest Hunter and possibly Hunter as well.

Anybody out there interested in joining me and Wayne "Iron Horse" Huebner?
details to follow.
let me know.

Hey Zero-G

How you doing? If no one signs on for the two car trip I might see you in the Westkill, Southwest Hunter area.
Let me know when you plan to be in and around those two. Maybe I'll run into you guys. If I get there I will also try to hit Rusk on the same day.

Take care. Doodles

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay. I am still planning on going on a weekend back pack this weekend. Here are the plans for now. After I consult with my hiking partner, we may change the plans due to weather concerns. I'll post changes up until 8 pm this evening, if there are any.

Anyway, if anyone wants to join us on either Sat. or Sun. Please do.

Now, there is a possibility for heavy snowfall Sat. evening into Sunday morning. The weather forecast this evening will tell us a lot more. There are two computer models of the storm, one projects it missing the other is a nice 10 to 12 inches north of the city.

Our Initial and current plans are:

Leave from Platte Clove Road, the LP trail head , follow the trail over Indian Head to Devils tombstone and possibly to the Lean-to near southwest Hunter.
Make camp at/near the Devils Acre lean-to.

If you are coming just for Saturday, we can arrange a shuttle to drop your car off at the parking area on Rt. 214.

The remainder of the trip is from the lean-to - to Hunter then SW hunter and Westkill- about face and out at Spruceton road. If it snows it'll be a real challenge. Should be fun.

If you want to Join us on Sunday, park at 214 and walk in to the leanto. We will probably leave the Devils Acre lean-to at 7:30. If I know someone will be meeting us. we can wait up until 8:00. But no later.

Plan on being at the second southernmost Diamond Notch Trailhead on Spruceton Road by the around 8 or 8:15 Saturday morning.

We'll shuttle to the start point from there -
