Backcountry Trail Run - Lake George & Gobblers Knob

Longmire at 9:00am to collect the reserved camping permit  near the museum/Wilderness Information Center end (the end that is farther from the inn and general store). We'll do a quick gear review, make sure everyone has proper food storage to meet the park's regulations, and then obtain permits. 

• Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/T58ifUTx7Dpog3PA9

• Please note: we are going to be trail running. This is not a typical hiking-focused overnight backpacking trip.   
• Leader's permission is required - please use the link at right. Please also fill out this survey:   https://tinyurl.com/33y658du
• Participants are asked to pay their share of the camping permit cost in advance to the trip leader (Venmo or Paypal).  Failure to pay in advance cancels your registration.

We will start from the Westside Road closure, run to Lake George and set up camp before tagging the Gobbler's Knob lookout. Depending on conditions and group energy level we may explore further on Sept. 7 or Sept. 8 before packing up and running back to the Westside Road trailhead.
