GTD's Forget Past 2002 Debacle - Ask for More in 2022!
Yes somehow Mark Stucker was elected Dick22 from the last outing, 20 years after the record cold snap, snow, trains, the farthest north we had ever had a World Outing.
After much gnashing of teeth, last minute deal breakers and shattered dreams….. the 2022 World Outing destination is chosen and secured. Care was given to finding a location infested with mosquitos, hungry non- hibernating bears, stinging nettles scorpions, poison ivy, copperheads, ticks and apparently a number of apple trees. That last was a clue.
Presenting - A return to Appletree Campground in the Nantahala National Forest in the far western mountains of North Carolina. A further tribute to Eric who guided us here six years ago. This time we will be staying in the more remote group site D, where more noise can be made and the ability to drive right up to load and unload.

I was hoping to get a place we hadn’t been before but, last minute found out some info that Boy Scouts were gonna be close by…..and not real private and isolated….was advertised as “group” sites but turned out to be big individual sites in same area……
So……Back up choice…… Appletree Group Campground, Site D, Nantahala, NC…..Site of Eric’s 2016 outing, our first pavilion and probably biggest fire ring we’ve seen……Site D is more private and isolated than Site A in 2016, we can pull right up……pavilion and fire ring…..and our own flush toilets, probably some electric. Showers up the hill….Nantahala river nearby….
