When is the next group hike? I need some excitement! Do not schedule one for the last week in September and I prefer Sundays.

Kearsage Pass. Lots of lakes and we can climb Mt. Gould
One of my favorite spots. How about we meet at Little Jimmy campground on Oct. 13 at noon? We can drink some beers and decide where to go from there.JeffH wrote:How about meet at Little Jimmy and hike to one or all the Hawkins?

I’m in, although I kind of agree that may not be the best start. Of course we could then decide to have more while watching the sun set from atop a peak.

Parking lot at Islip will be full of pickups and gun racks. The sounds of gunfire echoing through the hills! pop-popanarchist wrote: Heads up on the 13th for hunters with guns, opening weekend for deer.
Where orange and keep the noise (i.e. loud talking) down to a minimum.
If we talk will they mistake us for deer?
Dang, I don't any orange gear. I'll try to stand next to someone else.

LOL. Talking will piss the hunters off because you are scaring their food away. Even if not true (even quiet hikers scare deer away), Elmer will use your loud voices as a convenient excuse for his bad luck and will be mad at you.
Make your presence known to them with hand signals (a polite "hello wave"). If they are good hunters, they already know you are there. If they are drunk Elmers with guns then wearing orange will help them know not to shoot before you get a chance to wave.

I am unfamiliar with the rules about deer hunters and hikers. Is Orange a standard color to wear? Why can't I just wear another cool color like Bright Pink? lol.
If deer hunters are so concerned about hikers talking then they shouldn't be hunting near the campgrounds. Seriously, it pisses me off. They can go elsewhere.

I'm not a hunter. I personally think it's lame. But over the years I've encountered a number of hunters. They've always been respectful and I really haven't come across any drunk Bubbas (although I'm sure they're out there). So I'm not going to go out of my way to be a selfish dick during the hunt. I figure hikers have the run of the forest for 11 months out of the year. Letting these (mostly) boys have their fun for 30 days ain't no thing to me. JMO.
