From: "Will Blozan"
ENTS,
Bob Leverett and I have been discussion the possibility of an
impromptu ENTS
gathering down here in the southern Appalachians for quite some
time. Ed
Frank also asked about it a while back so. let's do it! I have found
a
"lodge" in Black Mountain, NC at camp Rockmont
(http://www.rockmont.com/rental.shtml)
that has the seriously reasonable
price of $21 per night per person. Wonderful setting and great space
to be
in and do our thing. I have done one measuring trip at the camp and
found
tuliptrees over 140' and black oak over 130'. Much more to discover
just in
the backyard! 550 acres!
Here are some ideas:
Field Trip Ideas
-
Smokies
(of course)
-
Cataloochee
-
Big Creek
-
Red
spruce hunt
-
"Pine
Flats"
-
Mountain
Mama climb (white pine 12'4" X 175')
-
Linville
Gorge
-
Chimney
Rock State Park
-
South
Mountains State Park
-
Biltmore
Estate
-
BRP/Craggies
(Josh?)
-
Any other
sites Josh, James, Mike know of that need a good Ruckering
Contests
-
Guess the
height
-
Guess the
volume
-
Pizza and
beer
What I need
to know is who, if anyone can make it. I need to get a deposit
in on the lodge to hold it so commitments would be great! I know
most local
folks may not want to stay there but seriously- you will be missing
out on
all the fun! Plus, isn't hanging with your ENTS buddies worth $42???
So, we would
be looking at Friday and Saturday nights; April 18 and 19.
Any takers?
Will and Bob
