Challulah? Cascalluleola?
What I would like to do ...
Will likely drive down early Sat or to Knox Fri night and want to do Cheoah fairly early at Brent's pace in order to do laps on the Cascades afterward til dark. I think it's about 35 mi from Tapoco (Cheoah TO to Cascades) and will take about an hour probably to get there. After Cascades blaze to Greenville to meet Ana for late dinner and spend night there ... this means I can't really carpool with anyone ... sorry. BTW, if you are heading to Tallulah, consider staying at NOC Hostel room. Full community kitchen, hot showers, foam sleeping pad, heaters for I think about $10 as I recall .. haven't done it in a while. River's End with delicious hot Sherpa rice and hot tea is open til 7pm. They'll tape your key to the convenience store door after closing.
Sun want to do Tallulah (finally?) ... don't know if any of our Green racer crowd will be there or staying on the Green for Sun. I want to try the Green, just don't want to do my first run this time of year ... maybe next summer. I'm told that Tallulah runs don't take long, so maybe a second lap there then or Sect IV to end the day? Would be cool to do 4 rivers in 2 days, but the Chattooga is only 1.6 ... still a fun level, but I'm sure not on par with Tallulah.
Forecast looks great ... highs in low 60's and mostly sunny both days!
