I'll get up with you when it's closer to time for the hang and we'll work out the details.
In reality we won't be playing HM (not nonstop, anyway). Besides, Tinker Bell will still have to ride in back seat. She hasn't graduated to the front seat yet.

Off topic, but isn't the HM craze over with now especially after the recent, ahem, photos of Miley Cyrus or did she somehow survive this mess unlike other teen stars?
I'd say bus would be your best bet.
Frederick MD and Hagerstown MD both have Greyhound Bus Stations. And both are darn close to Gathland State Park. If you tell people when you are going to arrive at the bus station and when you need to depart, you may be able to arrange a pickup and drop off before buying a ticket.
Both Baltimore and Cumberland have Amtrak stations.
What photos? I have no idea what you're talking about...
My kids don't read Vanity Fair or listen to talk radio.

The MAHHA Hang will be located, again, above the shelter at Crampton Gap on the AT in Maryland. This is a very low key event with nothing structured other than a Saturday night BBQ. There is plenty of parking at Gathland State Park, the shelter is only about a half mile walk to the site, there are plenty of places to hang, water is available at the spring at the shelter or from a faucet across the road from the parking lot. There is a privvy at the shelter and there are also bathrooms in the park across the road from the parking lot. A covered pavilion is located in the park for our Saturday BBQ and as a place to gather if the weather turns really terrible. We will mark the trail from the lot to the site with orange ribbon. The trail is easy to follow and several folks, including NCPatrick and his daughter, Tinkerbell, walked in in the dark.
We had 20+ hangers at the Spring hang consisting of inexperienced and very experienced hangers of all ages using many different types of hammocks, both commercial and DIY. It's a great place to have fun and learn. The Jacks have agreed to attend again, and many of us really benefited from their friendly and experienced advice; so, this hang would be a great opportunity for both experienced and novice hangers to attend.
We'll put up directions as we get closer to the time of the hang so, pencil in the dates on your calendars. If you need directions earlier, do a search under Redtail since he put up the directions last time.
Crap. I have to work that weekend. I really wanted to attend a MAHHA hang out.

Great! I am off that weekend.
I hope to see everyone again.

This won't be our last one. We'll have another next Spring. Hope to see you then.
You already know you have to work that weekend? That's some calendar you're keeping.

I've got a wedding anniversary that weekend. If I want to keep celebrating those I won't be at Fall MAHHA 08. I'll encourage Kurly to go though.
Poor lad needs all the hanging help he can get!
