Details: We look for better weather in December than I have experienced in February in four previous trips (rained all weekend once, iced out twice). Should be cold enough that the bugs will not bother us. Indians settled the area more than 10,000 years ago and utilized pottery more than 2500 years ago. Croatan National Forest is said to have more flesh eating plants than people and is home to a large variety of mammals, birds (Red-Cockaded woodpeckers) and reptiles (hopefully dormant for the winter but no guarantee!). We will do the southern section. Start at Oyster Point. Base-camp at Black Jack Shelter at 2.5 miles. Saturday an out-and-back to Hwy 1010, approximately 10 miles. Scenery varies from pine/hardwood upland forest to cypress/palmetto swamp to sandy riverbanks. There is a surprising amount of "roll" to the topography. Group size is limited. Refundable-at-the-trailhead deposit required. Contact Information:
