good recommendations. i love that area, but i wouldn’t say “no one’s ever around.” nearly every campground on the current and jacks fork is full during the summer, and i’ve never seen rocky falls without there being at least a handful of people climbing around (no matter the time of year). it’s nearly as full as johnson shut-ins during the warmer months.

Reply to Is flying always this hard? by PotentialCalm

the convenience of flying in or out of SGF has to be weighed against the increased potential for delays due to layovers. i have to travel a lot for work, and have started driving to XNA or MCI specifically for the nonstop flights. time-wise it’s about the same, but you can usually save quite a bit of money as well (especially at MCI).

for instance, SGF to NYC is ~$550 with a layover, while XNA is about $100 less for nonstop. meanwhile, MCI is usually less than $200 for a nonstop, which leaves you more than enough for a rental car if you need one.
