    Ed Speer's Spring 23rd Annual SEHHA Sept. 19-21, 08

    Here's the usual info:

    From www.speekhammocks.com:

    Join us for the 23rd SEHHA (SouthEast Hammock Hangers Association) campout the weekend of September 19-21, 2008. It's FREE! (except for your $6/nite camping fee). This is an informal group event and everyone is welcome--veteran, novice or future hammockers. See, learn and share your knowledge with other hammock enthusiasts. This will be an easy overnight campout at a commercial campground in a beautiful mountain river setting near the Appalachian Trail in western North Carolina! Join Karen Sousa and Ed Speer, author of the Hammock Camping book and editor of the Hammock Camping Newsletters for this fun early Fall campout. Previous trips were well attended and this is another chance for hammockers to show their stuff, share ideas, learn from others, and be a part of the 'new way'. Meet old friends and make new ones! Check out the newest hammock gear!

    Come help us celebrate the begining of Autumn!

    We will camp in the popular Hot Springs Campground approximately 45 minute drive northwest of Asheville, NC or 1.5 hours east of Knoxville, TN. The campground is located on the east side of the town of Hot Springs on Highway US 25/70 directly across from the Hot Springs Resort and Hot Tubs. The campground is situated on the French Broad River and our campsite (#413) is on the rivers' west bank. Road access to the campground is from Asheville, NC or Newport, TN on US 25/US 70. Trees are available for about 15 hammocks, so please bring hammock stands if you have them--we will also provide stands (contact us to reserve one). If you have folding camp chairs, bring them. Everyone will be responsible for his or her own transportation, gear, behavior, and camping fees ($5/person, see Ed at campsite). Camp central for the weekend will be the camp fire and large white canopy at site #413.

    Show up anytime and leave anytime, but don't miss our free Saturday evening hot dog cookout! This is now a tradition at each hammock hangers campout--it's not to be missed! Otherwise, everyone will be responsible for his or her own meals.

    Upon arrival, check in at the campground gate and ask for the 'hammock group'. Don't pay at the entrance gate--you pay me at the campsite itself. Karen and I will be at the campsite Friday afternoon thru midday Sunday, so arrive anytime after 1 pm Friday. The Hot Springs area abounds with outdoor opportunities like hiking, canoeing, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, mountain biking, etc--you can easily combine the hammock campout with an outdoor trip. The Appalachian Trail passes thru town and only a few hundred feet from our campsite. The French Broad River adjacent to our campsite is a popular fishing and floating stream.

    Find complete campground details at:

    Find driving directions at: http://nchotsprings.com/directions.html

    Early Fall temperatures at this elevation can fluctuate wildly, so expect daytime temps of 50-80F and nighttime temps of 30-50F. Rain is possible so be prepared.

    Signing up is not necessary, but letting us know will be appreciated-- [email protected] or call (828) 724-4444

    Everyone Welcome! See ya at Hot Springs! …..Ed "Not To Worry" Speer

    I think I should be able to get off work that Friday. Hopefully I can make it all weekend.

    Or the 23rd instead of the 23st. I may make it to this one. I've really been wanting to go to one of the MAHHA hangs, so I'm seriously looking at attending that one in the fall. I guess it all just depends on what work schedules are looking like at the time. For now, it's just too early to tell. But if I don't make one, I'll hopefully make the other.

    I'm still heading to MAHHA. I can car pool with folks from NC who want to go. (If we can meet somewhere close-by)...

    This is eight hours for me and I probably won't be able to make it, but I may surprise myself and y'all. Mule
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
