Ok, I have talked with a few folks, fellow Virginians or those nearby, who have attended hangs in NC (Hunger Hang, Smoked Butt), and others on the forum and we have all bemoaned the lack of good, organized "hangs" in the central Virginia area.
If you have attended a hang in North or South Carolina (way to go Carlolinians!) then you know of what I speak when I say a "good, organized hang."
Now, I have spoke with some folks about trying to get into one of the newer Virginia state parks, perhaps as a "service hang," offering to help clean up the campground and get it ready to open in the spring and close in the fall and helping to get the parks name out there. Since they are not that well known. Perhaps these could become annual events?
I have checked out one area park and it does look interesting. The campground is "paddle in" but there is a parking area nearby so there could be vehicular support. Definite possibilities. It is nearby to Richmond, not too far from interstates and relatively easy to get to while not being "in town."
The question is, Is there enough interest in the region to make it worthwhile? If you are interested I am asking you to sound off. Let me know if you are in the area or if this area is central enough that this would be good for you to attend? If you are in the area, are you willing to step up to the bat and meet up to work on planning a hang? Yeah, mainly to talk the park into going for it!
I really think we do have the interest, I am not really worried about that, this is really just to get a "round up" started I suppose.
Thanks
