Our annual Barrett Lake trip was originally scheduled as a day trip on 9/13. At the last meeting there was some discussion about whether or not to make it an overnight camping trip. What's the consensus for this run?
I don't plan to camp at Barrett Lake. If I camp it will be at Wrights Lake the night after the run.
I don't want to camp at Barrett either.
me either

This plan would allow for some to day-trip and some to over-night. I think I'm going to be limited to a day trip for this run.
Lee was also asking about a night run in Friday night and staying at the lake. I didn't get a feel for what people thought of this idea though.

Barrett at night is a fun run, but if something goes wrong or you're moving slow it makes for a long night. There really isn't much in the way of camping in the middle of the trail.
Plus, when you roll into camp at 3 in the morning people aren't real happy to see you and they let you know the next morning. 😉
A night run on Barrett would be fun...but I'm not camping at the lake...so that's out too.
I think a day trip with camping elsewhere sounds fun.
so whats the concensus? you can tell im using ie cant you? 😳
Maybe we (fourdice) will see you guys up there. We will be camping at the lake. Swing by for a 🍺
cool pic. 🍺
See...Four Dice will be there...won't be any room for my man tent 😀
I think this is the same weekend as the marlin crawler event so i won't be able to go. Barrett is one of the trails that i want to run though.
I'm fine with a day trip and camping elsewhere, but what is wrong with camping at the lake?

x2. Not much space. Fills up quick. Too many people in one little spot. I'm very territorial! I will pee on your tent if I need to mark my territory. It's not pretty.

John: Wow, it's raining.
Keane: No it's not.
John: OH NO!

I am up for camping. After the trail I am camping in my bedroom that night!!!!!
Making a pup tent under the sheets doesn't count...and Sue will laugh at you 😂
