This is the latest update for our Fall camping trip. We are definitely on for the weekend of October 5, 6, & 7. Because different people in the group have different amounts of equipment, I was thinking we could car camp, but do an 11 mile throught hike on the AT over Mt. Greylock on Saturday. This means we get exercise, see lots of fall colors, but still can bring tons of beer. Erik and I did a similar trip in the Catskills this weekend and it worked out great.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
