I love the idea of the kilted hike/night that kiltedmusiclover proposed for the western Carolina's, and I didn't want to steal his thread, so I'm starting a new one here for those in the Triangle area (or wherever) to discuss.

I know there are several of us in the Triangle area now, and I was thinking we could plan a nice hike in Umstead Park. Umstead has a couple of nice trails that combined would be about 13 miles. Finish off with an unofficial kilt night at Tir Na Nog, and you have a pretty perfect day.

Another option would be to head up toward the Pilot Mountain area so that the W-S crew could be involved. I'm fairly new to NC, and I've yet to do a lot of homework on hiking areas in the Triangle (other than Umstead), so I'd love to get some more opinions/suggestions.

This idea of this thread is to just get some input and see how many people would be interested.
