Only four of us ventured forth on this mid-March trip. From Farr Gap at the north end of the Wilderness, south on the Fodderstack trail along the ridge separating the Citico Creek and Slickrock Creek areas.  We camped at Big Stack Gap, where the Mill Branch Trail intersects with the Fodderstack trail. On Sunday, we checked out the Big Fodderstack before heading down the mountain on the Pine Ridge Trail, to end near the Warden  Station on Doublecamp Road.
