===> let's keep this open. I am interested...waiting for a new RidgeRunner to arrive, but I have a couple if WBBBs (gotta find the tree straps for the second one!) and a HH Expedition so I can hang.
I am in Stoneham - not too far.

===> Sounds good to me! I like hanging in HP! Practiced some Primitive Fishing techniques last time, and a little Bushcraft while I was at it,

===> Mostly at the designated campground. They have 80+ sites, a lot are good for hanging.

I like 067-085 along the pond side.

===> Yep! I have hung in 81 and 83 before (hooked Knotty up with 81 a coupla days ago), as well as 112-ish and another further back in the loop. Stealth camped off Rte 125 a couple of times, then hiked in to Berry Pond to fish. HPSF is a local gem for hangers. (Plus, there is a pretty good REI right down the street in Reading if you need things!)

Not northshore, but we would be into it if it fits in the schedule when the date is decided. Unless you only want NS attendees that is.

====> Please do come hang if possible! Any shore, any state! Checking dates right now. First weekend in August is the hang in Frankfort, Maine. So the earliest for me would be the next weekend (9-11). Having eye stuff done on Friday, but since it is so close, could still make it, I think.

Ok the 16-18 it is then .. I just checked reserve America to see if there are some pond side sites and it looks like they are booked up. There are lots of other sites but I don't k now what ones are amazing. Maybe one of you know some good non pond. Harold Parker allows four adults per site. how many will we need? Should we pick a few sites together and book them individually or group up?

===> looks like 16-18. If I can, I will drive over to the campground and try to do a site survey for hanging. So far we have around 8 hangers, so a minimum of two good sites, or four that can hang at least two. I will report back with the info. If necessary, I will just book the sites myself while I'm there, if possible.
This should be fun!!

i can go today and check out available sites. we will probably get one ourselves; our dogs like to woof at strangers in the night. i will let you know--
how many people do we have? and are we staying Friday and Saturday nights?
i will make a new event so add yourself with a reply if you are going.

I booked 108 for Saturday night only, the farthest one out. If you need an extra site, please feel free to book it Friday and we will work it out for Saturday. I am sure there are enough trees that it won't be a problem and you won't have to move. If we get that many interested's.
We should try to take advantage of the invitation to camp at Mt. Cardigan sometime too. It is a beautiful area and not too far. I can get you there Chaaz if the travel is going to be an issue. Glad to!
