Digging into Russ' leg for that tick was like a scene from "No Country For Old Men." ugh...

That was awesome!! Thank you all for makin a newbee feel like one of the gang. I cant wait for the next hang!

Agreed! Not a 'newbie hanger'...but first time meeting folks from the forum. It was awesome! You all rock and I came back with soooo many ideas!

Hey everyone. Looks like you were all having a Great time when my family and I swung in quickly yesterday. I am very excited that so many of you got to meet one another. And I was able to meet a few. After I left there yesterday both my wife and my oldest son were wondering when the next one was happening because they both wanted to go. Whoo buddy. So next one if it works into my schedule you guys can count in 3 more.

It was wonderful to meet you folks too.

+1 That was a great time. Glad to have met you all.

When I was checking out and bringing the last of the trash down I stopped to talk to the kid working about other potential sites. He gave me a location that I'll be checking out soon. Plenty of parking and about 2 miles in which is what everyone was talking about for the next group hang. Clean water available and plenty of space to camp. I'll post more info once I get a chance to check it out.

Had a great time. Can't wait for the next one

He was such a nice guy. I told him to look the forum up. He was very interested in our form of camping/hiking/hanging.

Thanks all, we had yet another great time! I would love to do a short hike in to the next one. Nicky would love to as well, so long as it isn't too rough-she has bursitis in her hip. We had a great time. Was great seeing old friends, and meeting new ones!

Next meet, let's put some workshops together. As we will, hopefully, be hiking in, maybe we can do some outdoors related ones-plant identification, fire starting,v emergency shelter building,b etc.

It was so cool to meet you guys. It was so much fun to hear so many life stories and experiences. Nicky's asparagus was awesome.

Did it really get down to 27f last night?

Wow! Seriously? And here I was wondering if that bag I had bought myself was worth it...between that bag and my poncho liner uq I was a-ok, well, except for my nose being a bit chilly in the wee early hours of morning.

Had a great time. That was a lot of fun.
Great group of people.

Oh no! I was happy to make it home and find I was 'clear' of ticks (for once).

Digging into Russ' leg for that tick was like a scene from "No Country For Old Men." ugh...

Hopefully he's 'right as rain' with no complications from the bite.

I almost forgot to add:
We had the best s'mores ever from the Chocolatier! I will never look at an ordinary s'more the same.

Again...it was so much fun with some very fine folks. Thanks!

I had a great time meeting new people and seeing old friends. No ticks. I wish I had found my camera for some pictures. I'm looking forward to next year.

Wow now there is an image I wont soon forget.

I'm looking forward to next year.

Next year? Man that's a long time away.

Chocolatier's drinking chocolate was amazing. Never going to look at the powered mix the same way again.

[Chocolatier]

...and a grand time was had by all.

Feeling seriously post-outdoors mellow. Great to see y'all again, and nice to make a few new acquaintances.

Plenty warm with my 20 degree bag and hacked-together underquilt--slept very nicely. And no ticks.

I too had a terrific time. No ticks here.

So, yeah, definitely terrific. It was great to see the many new faces in the group as well.
