Charlie, I'll be waiting to hear from you.
Dogwater, you are most definitely invited! Do you know exactly where and when? If not:
The Old florida Road trail is off of Shaft Road in Florida Ma.
---
Directions from New York State- catch Rt 2 East near Troy, and follow all the way through North Adams Mass into Florida Mass. You'll hit Florida once you climb up the Mountain out of North Adams and pass the Western-Facing Overlook where you will see a small parking area and a motel/cabins.
You'll still be on Rt 2 at this point. You'll pass the Cub Scout Troup Sign welcoming you to Florida on the Left. This is the sign showing a Snowman and Palm Trees. A little way past this sign, there will be a right hand turn onto Shaft Road. Follow the signs to Savoy Mountain State Forest. (brown with white lettering)
Follow this road and the signs for aproximately 2 miles, and the campground is on the right before the road turns into dirt. Of course, if you're on a dirt road, you've gone too far. doh. You really can't miss it.
From Vt, Rt 8/100 South into North Adams and left onto Rt 2 East. Or I91 south to Rt 2 West. Follow Rt 2 West into Florida and then to Shaft Road and follow signs.
Boston area; I90 West to I91 North to Rt 2 West, and same as above.
-------------
I have one campsite reserved, and the number is 8. We can have four adults and four tents total per site. If we need more room, there are more available, and I think the one right next to it is, so how many do we have so far?
I'll be there on Friday afternoon, and any planning on coming up Friday should try and get there before dark, just because it'll be easier for you to find the place.
Any planning on arriving on Saturday Morning, must let us know about when you'll be up, so we can plan on meeting you either at the campground, or somewhere else.
Plan to bring:
-Tow Straps!
(A winch would be the bawls!)
-fire extinguisher
-Food
-Water
Fill up in town (North Adams/ or other, because there is no gas in Florida) You won't need extra gas cans.
-A folding Chair- and keep it away from Doug! (he has a habit of soaking other people's chairs with water- don't ask how he does this, but he'll manage <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> )
-Tarp! Just in case. (also keep away from Doug! This is what he usally uses to soak the chair with)
-Camera
-Trash Bag -very important that we leave Nothing Behind on Florida Road. This trail has been brought back from the brink of the closurists by local clubs, and we must help out in keeping it that way.
We will probably do Old Florida on Saturday, and if there is enough time even Ice Cream Trail. But probably the Ice Cream Trail on Sunday.
