Adia, we'll get a food poll posted soon. People can post what they are bringing on it. Thanks for the reminder.

You forgot about Monday on where we all forget to go home and back to work ... and we all get fired and have to live in the hammock commune for the following year :^)

I am really sorry that I will miss my first Hang due to my nephew's wedding that weekend. Please write up a detailed report so that I can, at least, hang vicariously with you all.

What’s happening at the Fall MAHHA
Anything and everything subject to change or cancellation for any reason -- don’t get attached.

Friday Dinner – on your own

Friday Dark-Thirty – campfires at hang site. Our camping area is a half mile in. Close enough for several people to hike in wood. No out-of-state wood. Only Maryland wood. Bring your camp chairs, your stories, camp songs. Huddle up around the fire with the only other people in the world who understand your addiction.

Bug-Bait, we'll miss you, too. Enjoyed talking to you and vitamaltz about everything veg at my first MAHHA in Fall 2009.

Thing1 is trying to decide which hangs she can do in October. She's leaning towards skipping MAHHA and going to the Gorge, since she has Thursday and Friday off from school during the Gorge hang.

I am having a hard time understanding why she wants two weekends in October to stay home and do nothing! What's up with that?

**HappyCamper** · 09-23-2010, 19:02

Teenagers! Who knows!

**HappyCamper** · 09-25-2010, 05:28

Everyone who is coming should make sure to fill out food pole here so we know how many burgers and dogs to buy!

I just picked up my work schedule and I have the days off. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

This is already looking like our biggest event!!! 38 people are signed up on the food poll and we're still 3 weeks out. Good times people! ! ! And mid October is a gorgeous time to be out in the woods in Maryland.

This is a good thing. Can't wait to get up there after our hike and see y'all! Dancer and I are very much looking forward to this.

Without a doubt, the reason for such a big turnout is because of this site! Can't wait to meet all the veterans of "Hanging Out"! Prepare for tons of pictures and videos.
