On Saturday, 16 Feb at 8:30 AM the PBX crew has a trip planned to explore the headwaters of a river just east of Wharton State Forest. We have 9 of our crew signed up, so if there are 3 people out there on this forum that are interested, we'd love to have you along to see what a PBX trip is like.
As a rule, we usually do not follow trails or paths, so you would have to expect some heavy bushwacking and swamp stomping. A trip like this will take at least 5 hours...and I expect this one to take at least 6 because the distance is about 6.5 miles.
Almost to a man, we wear knee-high gum boots and brush pants. However, what you wear is up to you, but just so you are aware, you can expect heavy brush, perhaps briars, water up to mid calf at times, and pristine cedar swamps. On nearly 80% of our trips, we often have to get on our knees and crawl for very short distances to get under the briar and highbush blueberry. Not trying to scare you away...just giving you the facts so you can make up your own mind.
I'd like to keep this open to current forum members only. If interested send me a private message and copy Guy (Teegate). I have to cut it off at 12, since more that that puts a damper on the experience.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them in this thread, that way other prospects can see the answers.
Freezing, wet, nasty weather or deep snow will cancel this trip.
