Iowa Hang - Yellow River State Forest?

[Jcavenagh]

firecaptain clued me into this thread...but I am in Wash DC that weekend. Everyone have fun!

[JerryW]

I'm planning on coming up on Saturday, for one night. Doubtful I can get out of work on Friday. I'll keep an eye on this thread and meet everyone at the planned Saturday night campsite.

Count me as a maybe - it depends on work. If I can make it, I'll probably have to meet up with you all on Saturday.

[Doody]

Chances are looking pretty good that I will make at least Saturday. So i will most likely be there.

[Skygzr]

This looks doable for me. I am a very strong maybe for the 9th-11th

[Snipen]

Put me as a maybe. Work is going to be slow proceeding that weekend, so not sure about money. Although I only have to get to Cry of the Wilds place, then can ride with him.

Here's a link to the trail map:

Yellow River State Forest

Looks like a pretty sizable crowd forming for Saturday night. Any thoughts on which camp to use?

I know Camp John Schultz has a big pine grove with room for a lot of hammocks. Camp Glen Wendel isn't as hammock friendly. I haven't camped at the other two sites so I don't know how many hammocks they would accommodate.

For those that haven't been there before, water is very limited, so plan on carrying it in with you. If you'll be there both nights, it's easy enough to plan your Saturday hike to go past the parking area to refill.

I think John Schultz Friday night and Browns Hollow for Saturday...this campsite is huge and can accommodate a lot of hammocks!
