Hello all. It has been a long time so I thought an event was in order. On August 31 I am hosting a hiking picnic up Castle Mountain in Chickaloon. We will meet at the King Mountain Lodge at 9:00am sharp and leave any extra cars there for the day and carpool to the trailhead for Castle Mountain, where we will hike (mountain bikes and ATVs can get you the first half of the trail feel free to bring them). Castle Mountain is a wonderful place and a great relatively easy hike. It is a 13 mile trip and we will not be moving at a rushed pace. There are a few caches along the way to the top. At the table near the top (not the summit, that is another few hours from the table) we will stop and have a picnic lunch. After lunch we will return to the campground near the King Mountain Lodge for a hot dinner that is being prepared while we are hiking. There is camping available at the King Mountain State Recreation Area Campground for a fee or free primitive camping near the Kings River. If you would like to go please RSVP so we know how much food we will need. The event cache is GC5AQDZ: Castle Mountain PicnicI hope to see you out there. Cache On!

Beautiful Area! I've been staging out of King Mtn SRS several weekends this summer to explore the 'old Glenn Hwy' and the caches placed along there. It's been a decade and a half since I'd traveled up that way...

I've seen you have picked up several of my caches out that way Wes. Come and join us for a hike. It is a great area and the trek is not technical up Castle Mountain, it is really just a long walk. Besides, where else are you going to get to wander in the wilderness, up a beautiful mountain, pick up three geocaches or more, and have two great meals. It looks like Tundra Tim will be joining us at the Castle Table. Any other takers?

We have a few people going on the trip. I am looking forward to it. If you are thinking about going please RSVP by Wednesday as I will be out of town after that and need to get preparations together for the number attending.
See you in the hills on Sunday

I wish - I have a series of meetings over this holiday weekend which are keeping me nailed down in town...
