Rats! Had really hoped to meet you in person. My daughter was SO excited about the shirt you gave her BTW... almost more excited than husby was about order in the knife, lol!

We'll still try to do a 'drive-by' and check everyone's rigs out.

I'm WILL be there regardless of who shows up. The cabin fever is getting old. I might camp out somewhere this weekend.

Now that we are about a week out can someone please post directions? I am new to this hang and will likely be driving in after dark.

GPS cord or Google maps would be welcomed.

I will eat stew in your honor..

This is a hang for all of us. Buenos has been nice enough to put it all together for everyone and has for the past 3 years. Even if Buenos moved away I would hope that one of us would step up and take over..

I dont think I will get to finish my hot tent idea.. I have been putting in 14 hour (or so) days for the past 2 months and this week gave up all of my days off to help with our shop for a few things... Next year for sure.

Thanks everyone for your support of the Hang. I really would rather be there than at work, but as I really have no choice... I am glad that it'll still go on. Please post reports and pics/vids so that I may live vicariously!

I recently walked the area and there is no much snow to be had. It's still pretty chilly at night, but warm during the day. Watch for temp variances of 20-30 degrees between day and night temps.

I'll be there next year, and we'll make the dates closer to winter than spring then. HAVE A GREAT TIME!

That sucks. Too bad you will not be there. We will still do what we do!

**Boomer** · 02-14-2013, 01:22

OK, do we have a finally tally on who's coming and when? I'll be over later on Friday, along with my buddy and son...
