I know we were talking about going to Puwtuckaway and hiking Whiteface. So instead of doing work for other classes, I looked stuff up. This is what I found:
This is the url for pawtuckaway. The campsite is open until October 30th, like Meghan said. The site said that they only take reservations up through the end of August. If somebody calls and tells them that we have a large group interested, we might be able to get around that. Each site holds a max of 6 people, so we'd need two. The site fee is $30-32 per night, but that only covers 2 adults and 4 kids. It's $10 for each additional adult, so it'd be an extra $40. So to stay the night it would be between $100-104. There are canoe rentals there, but I can't find pricing online. The phone number is (603)895-3031.
Whiteface is in Grafton County, about 2 hours away. It's 4020 ft high. The route suggested by the AMC is 11 miles round trip (see it here). I think that's a little ambitious to do in one day, if we have to drive up that day. Unless people are willing to leave really early, like 8 at the latest. Another site says that it takes about 7.5 hours to complete (here). Does anybody remember the name of that place that Jayson was talking about today? Because I have no idea what it was called. I just emailed him to find out. I also asked about trailmaps, because we might be able to stay in a shelter on the mountain for a night (I have no idea if there is actually one there, but a trail map would tell us). That's all I have for now.
