I thought last time I tried that everyone got a second invitation. :/

 

[Neal A. Tew]

That may be true if you leave the settings unchanged. I have probably done it more than once. Oops. I suspect if you adjust the invite options during your edit you can avoid that, however. No warranties expressed or implied.

 

[DintDobbs]

Definitely looking forward to this year's trip. Hopefully the temperatures will be lower this time around, going later in the year.

 

[SJ.Overland]

Would love to join, but my days are definitely numbered this year. Hope you have a great time!

 

[JJbyrd]

Looking forward hitting the trails with you all again.

Wow! That’s a really long weekend. I will have to see what my work schedule is, but sounds awesome!

Stay for part. I know @aka.Kletus won't be down till Friday afternoon through Sunday.
I think @DintDobbs and company are Sunday at best, but Monday-Wednesday likely.
All good.

 

[DintDobbs]

I'm planning on having to work Sunday, so the earliest I'll be able to arrive is Monday afternoon. Unless I get fired, that is!

I need a web designer, you can work from home :)

 

[DintDobbs]

@danwyandt Not my type of work, but I legitimately know someone who might be interested. If you're actually looking, I can see if she's for hire at this time.

Forest Service warns of coyote attack on Uwharrie Trail



TROY, N.C., April 28, 2024 — The National Forests in North Carolina urge visitors to use extra caution following a recent coyote attack on the Uwharrie National Forest.



The isolated incident occurred early in the morning on April 27 on the Uwharrie Trail near Big Island Creek. Two individuals received minor injuries during the incident, and Forest Service and state officials are working together to locate the coyote involved.



Encountering coyotes and other wildlife can be a common occurrence when visiting the Uwharrie National Forest, and the results can be unpredictable. For both personal safety and for the protection of wildlife, visitors should follow these basic steps:



Know before you go—contact the District Ranger’s office (open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) or visit the National Forests in North Carolina’s webpage (www.fs.usda.gov/nfsnc) for the latest alerts and safety information.



Never approach any wildlife, when in the forest. If an animal appears to be in distress, contact the District Ranger’s office or county animal control.



When camping, make sure to secure all food and trash to avoid attracting wildlife. Prepare food at least 100 yards away from sleeping areas.



If you are injured during an unintentional encounter with wildlife, seek immediate medical attention.

Sheesh. I knew we had coyotes at the beach, I didn't know we had them in the mountains too.

 

[SK6ACTUAL]

I'll be right behind ya'. :)

 

[DintDobbs]

For those who haven't been informed, I am expecting a group of acquaintances to attend more or less "loosely". There are prospectively three of them - Ben, Chris, and Will - and if my past experiences with them is to be applied predictively, they will likely not stay with our group for long, and might engage in the other activities and attractions available.

I'm going to say that they will not be camping with us; I told their coordinator that we have space for 10 rigs and my two put us at max. They prefer campgrounds or the abominable AirBNB's (or however it's spelled) any way.

Hey! I'm going to plan on coming out and joining in. May not be able to stay the whole time but definitely get a couple days in. I've mostly just been hitting Horse pasture rd so will be nice to try new trails.

Great! Come on!
Many won't be staying the whole time, but a lot will overlap and get to meet other members.
