Home again.
Great time.
Didn't want it to end.
More later.

Okay, I am also getting some dropped images when I look at the thread; so here is the Slideshow for those that would like to see all of them.

Seems we have overloaded the thread
Photos look great. I would love to have been there, but I was at a Boy/Cub Scout camp in East Texas(Clement Scout Camp). I did hang Saturday night. My third night hanging and got to say that I am hooked.
I will keep my eyes open for the next Texas Hang.
Thanks for the trip report and photos.
Dudes I am in like Flinn next year. This looks like a hoot
Not to rub it in, but you missed a humdinger of a hang this year.
Great food, great fun, and great fellowship.
Mark your calendar for Texas Hang III 2011!
(November 11-13, 2011)
You know you want to pass out awards and we'd all like your take on them so go for it.
One more thanks for eveyone's generosity. It's always nice to be able to pay the bills and the amount collected hit it right on the nose. (Thanks Alan for keeping the books. All I did was spend money and have fun.)
While I'm passing out "thank you's" I sure want to remember EastTexasHanger for the great cedar name tags - way to avert an identity crisis; Old Gringo for bringing the trailer of wood for KerMegan to burn, (along with the wood from the barn Shane must have torn down and wood brought by several others too); all the folks who helped add to my waist line with the food at the Saturday night pot luck; all the photographers sharing their great pics in this report; and everyone who participated in showing off their newly purchased or DIY gear!
Well I finally made it home, I know, I know I live closer than anyone else, but do you
realize how much piney woods there are between Fairfield and my house. I just needed one
more night...
So Here's my Trip Report on the TEXAS HANG BY EastTexasHanger aka slowsmoke
The words from one of our favorite HF Forums members best sums it up for me...
WHOOOOO BUDDY
First a Big Texas Thanks to UncleMJM an Alan for all the work putting this hang together.
Old Gringo for the firewood and KerMeagan for making the wood last all weekend.
Myself being a solo guy/ semi-hermit, and my first group hang, and with 40 or more people was a
lot different than I'm use to,but everyone was great that I talked to, Fantastic FOOD,
Awesome Gear and Info. Oh and did I mention the FOOOD!!
Alrighty then down to the good stuff, Where else but in TEXAS can you sit around campfire
and get to see a RAT and a Possum in a debate about a utili-skirt. I think this may still
be going on. Rat also Has a knife that would make Jim Bowie turn green with envy, and Rats
young son has knife skills too,this young man baton wood and made some pro quality roasting
sticks.He can also eat his wieght in marshmallows I believe..
Then there were the DIYers, I was so amazed at their skills that I forgot about my own stuff
to show ,maybe next year.
The GEAR JUNKIES.. what can I say, from MollyMac Pack to the TEAR
DROP TRAILER and all in between so much gear so little time.
I believe everyone there left with some kind of wish list of gear that they wanted to build
or buy, but one person, and this person has the" Cogneato Scroll" Cogneato is an awesome
young man.He's like a sponge any info or tips he soaks up and uses it wisely, you can tell
by his choices of gear hes got or getting. I hope he wins the lottery he's going to need it
We also had an 07 AT Thru-Hiker with some great photos and stories thanks "gimpy" So much more but thats enough for now... So where we going this weekend LOL .
