Unfortunately, I will be out of town that weekend and won't be able to make it to the hang.

Sorry you won’t make it this time, Jasmine. I have your pad you left last trip, so i’ll keep it safe for you til next time.

Oh, wow. Thank you! I hadn't even realized I left it there; when I couldn't find it the last time I went camping, I figured I'd just misplaced it somewhere. Thank you for holding onto it for me. I really appreciate it!

Does anyone have a super large tarp for the group hang just in case it rains like last year? We used the biggest tarp I have and it was just to small last year, we got wet around the sides. I'm pretty sure it's a 24x12 or maybe a 30x12? But it's just not wide enough. I've been looking on EBay and we can get a heavy duty sliver and brown tarp 30x30 for around $70.00 or maybe bigger or smaller? My length on the tarp was good but the width was not.

My question is for everyone that comes to the hang each year, Do we want to all chip in and purchase a Sipsey Hang tarp ??? If so maybe someone from Moulton or Decatur that lives near by can be the keeper.

If we don't get enough folks to volunteer to help purchase one then no problem! Maybe someone will have one to bring? Just in case!

I will be happy to chip in. Ashley

Obmit is bringing one

Well I'm not sure what to do? Either I didn't read something right or I didn't see where he tells this? But I remember him having one I think?
The one I'm looking at on eBay is a heavy duty silver tarp 30x30 for a few cents shy of $70.00 with free shipping
If my calculation is correct we got 5 volunteer donators so far, but I'm still not sure what to do? I'll wait

I will bring the large tarps that we had used in the past. The largest tarp I have is 12' x 24' and I have a couple of 9' x 12'.
If I remember correctly, we used two tarps the last time. It had fairly good coverage for everyone at the time but we didn't have the turnout that we have had recently.

Does anyone have a parachute??

Thomas- if you don’t mind, why don’t you go ahead and get the big tarp. We’ll take up a collection. The smaller tarps worked, but allowed for dripping on the edges.
Anybody that has rope is welcome to bring it along-

Did the Sipsey get a little of the same rain Birmingham got this week? A little more of this before we get there would be good.

It is ordered! $69.49
This should keep a lot of us folks dry if it rains it's going to be a big one 30x30 Heavy duty sliver tarp.
I felt bad for everyone that was getting wet last year seating around the sides. I hope I can find my pole that goes in the middle? I think it's at my sisters house? If not I know where some trees is to make a new one
Bring on the rain! We will be ready

I live about 40 minutes from sipsey and it rain a good bit this week, Wednesday we was under a flash flood watch

Yeah, but the water level drops pretty quickly too. You can always check it here: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?02450250

The crossing at the junction of 200/209 is normally about 2 ft. LOWER than the listed water level.
