Sorry to say that NikkiC and myslef, hercdiver won't be making the hang this year. The Air Force has decided to move us to Texas before the hang dates. Loved last year and will miss everyone here on the east coast. Will have to get involved with the Texas hangers. I already took our names off the databases.
Afternoon Everyone:
Gabe (my nephew) and I will try to be at this hang. Look forward to seeing all my old friends......and meeting lots of new ones!
anyone passing thru scranton-wb on the way down? stuck for a lift atm..wanted to put some feelers out before searching out a bus. gas the rest of your trip obviously.
The attendance spreadsheet shows 1 shy of 100!
Looks like we will have a full campground.
It has been mentioned before, but I recommend that if you have a hammock stand you can bring...do so.
Looking forward to seeing all for a great hang and those interested in the prehike in from Caledonia.
2Q
I just had another hiker confirm, so we are now over 100!Quote:

...Donna here...We have sites A,B,&C...these have a lot of trees. As hangers arrive, everyone should look at the layout of the trees and hang their hammocks in such a way to utilize all the trees available. There are also some treeless spots where stands and/or tents could be put.Quote:

Because we are not too familiar with these sites,Tim and I are going to drive out there the 12th or 13th and get a better idea of how many hanging trees are available on these sites. We will post our findings.
There are boundaries with each site, and we are not permitted to travel farther into the woods. We have all but one of the sites in the group camping area, and we should be able to accommodate everyone.
Those that have a stand that can be brought...please do. This doesn't mean you will have to use them if you don't want to....they can be available, if needed, for the late Friday night or Saturday morning arrivals.
If you don't have a portable stand...not a problem!
Also...a reminder....if anyone wants a campfire...and who wouldn't:), we will need people to bring Pennsylvania firewood with them. Or, PGFST allows downed wood to be collected for burning, but no chainsaws are permitted in the park. Maybe someone with a pickup truck and helpers could drive around collecting wood and go outside the park to cut it up...just a thought!:) We will have a total of 5 campfire areas...one in each site.
I'll be there with my teenage daughter. Let me know what we can bring to contribute to the feast.
Turns out I can't get off work so I'll have to back out. See you guys at a hang eventually.
Looks like i will not be able to attend either. Work will have me traveling again for the last 2 weeks of April. I won't be back in the states till May.
I'm hoping to bring a matching set of 3 stands that I hope folks will enjoy seeing.Quote:
