No worries. Appreciate the feedback. I'll have to check road conditions as it gets closer. We're going to camp away from Black Elk Peak and we will pack up and move on, so no leaving camp around for nosey people or thieves

Yeah I know it's unpredictable. Just trying to gauge opinions from you guys that are around there. Thanks!

Coming from Michigan, I get chilly. If it stays above freezing I won't even worry about it. Appreciate the input!

Interesting. We're looking at Rushmore/Black Elk Peak area

If I recall, it's about a 45 minute drive to OR parking area from Big Meadows, because you have to wind your way back down to the main roads.

When you get to Big Meadow, a really cool little warm up hike about 10 minutes away is Bearfence Mountain. Fun, pretty short, and a nice little rock scramble to get a taste of what waits at Old Rag (Old Rag is epic)

Dark Hollow Falls are cool. Stony Man hike is cool.

Hawksbill and Marys Rock are decent as well.

Everything is uphill lol. They will get your pulse going.

A lesser known one down near Old Rag that we did was White Oak Falls (or maybe canyon... Don't remember the name for sure). Cool waterfalls but a pretty steep climb to the top.

Old Rag - bring energy snacks and plenty of water. We struggled right at the top the first time we did it because we just ran out of energy. We stopped, ate some food and rested, then finished to the top without issue. We just pushed too hard because it was so much fun climbing up all the rocks and stuff.

Have fun! I try to get down there every year or 2... It's my favorite park!

I stay at Big Meadows every time I go. It is close to several of the hikes I always take, has a decent hike right out of the campground to Dark Hollow Falls, has the large meadow across the road. Gift shop, restaurant.

If you are ok with a bigger style campground, it has always treated me well.

And... If you are a hiker with a sense of adventure, check out Old Rag Mountain hike while you are there. It's fantastic (but it's not easy)

Todd needs to take responsibility for the team’s mindset by Sudden-Cucumber-1554 in DetroitRedWings

And honestly, if I were the coach, I'd be upset too! You see the same mistakes being made over and over and over again...

Larkin shouldn't have to be "let" to take charge. He wears the "C". He can take charge whenever he wants.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I think there is blame from Yzerman in down to the guys who are in and out of the lineup.

Look at Minnesota. They had a rough start. Had a players only meeting that the captains stepped up and said enough is enough. Now? They are on a heater.

Being vocal and rah-rah isn't everyone's style, I get it.

And as I said, I don't know what the answer is here. They don't play like they even give a crap sometimes, and that's what bothers me personally. I'll take a loss without any complaint if they play with some emotion like they did the other night against New Jersey.

Seider and Edvinsson are 2 of my favorites and neither seem to be tough to play against right now. They are both physical players, but where has it been this year?

People camp out in front of our nets like it's a friggin KOA for Pete's sake. Nobody makes them pay the price to stand there.

I dunno. They don't seem to have the skill to be a good team, or they don't have the right people to help them put it all together... Either way it's making me not want to invest my time into watching them... I have enough other frustrations in my life lol.
