VMO: Cranberry Wilderness Mystery Tour WV (~35 Miles)
Details
There seems to be a huge demand for backpacking in West Virginia the second weekend in August. Austin’s MO trip to Otter Creek and Peter’s low mileage MO trip to Cranberry Wilderness are both oversubscribed. So, I’m posting a VMO trip to a different part of the Cranberry Wilderness. Let’s get everyone interested in backpacking that weekend out on the trails!
WB offered to draft our exact hiking route on CalTopo, which I will post when ready. But expect an adventure with a limited hike Friday night, 20ish miles Saturday, and 10ish miles Sunday. The official departure time will be Friday at 5:00, but I’m sure someone will drive a carpool out earlier.
If interested, join us on this mystery tour! You must be ranked VMO to backpack with us on this trip.
---------------THE IMPORTANT WARNINGS-------------------
I’m just a co-participant on this trip, not a guide or an expert. I’ve been hiking with DCUL since 2017 but have no special training, such as organizational, medical, or navigational. You are officially on the trip if you both RSVP on Meetup, we engage by email, text, or the app, and you meet me at the trailhead. Otherwise, you are doing your own trip until you make physical contact with me and I recognize you as a co-participant. I’m open to questions.
