3 Days in "Paradise" with The Hippy

November 9/10/11 2012 (Fri/Sat/Sun)

I'll be leading a troupe into the Supes for 3 days of fun, hiking, exploring (and cartwheels, can't forget the cartwheels!) So of course everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us.

Day 1 (friday)
Roughly 2 1/2 hour drive from Peoria (where I live) so we'll plan on a 4am depart from home for an early start.
Depending on who all will join us I may opt to leave the night before (because I love night hiking : rambo : ) but we'll take a vote.

We will begin at Reavis Trailhead (Reavis Ranch Via North #109) it's roughly a 9 mile hike to Reavis Ranch, there we will set up base camp

Day 2 (saturday)
From our base camp at Reavis Ranch we will head out to visit Circlestone and finish it up with a group bagging of Mound Mountain's peak at 6,266 feet. Shouldn't take the entire day to do this but we'll use the entire day to explore.

Day 3 (sunday)
Lazy morning of exploring the area followed by the 9 mile hike back to the vehicle(s) at Reavis Trailhead and home in time for supper!


3 days in the Supes, doesn't get any better than this....well, unless you're Elisha Reavis a century or so ago... :D

One of the triplogs said that he brought in all of the Booze for the Trip, and they were up there for at least 4 days, because JJ saw them on Thursday. I'd say he carries quite a bit.... :sweat:

The goat Winston carried around 40 lbs in. The owner, I believe his name was Cameron, said he moves fairly slow when hiking. The good thing is Winston grazed all weekend so they didn't need to bring any food.

I just saw a video of one of my cousins in Norway. So for those of you at HippyHAZfest, you can now see that it's genetic. :D
