Will you be attending the HH?
Please post how many and who will be coming with you and if you will be or are willing to carpool from your area to the hang. Posts here will be used to determine a head count so please keep comments limited to attendance and carpooling.
I will be there and will be carpooling. Not sure if there is more room with us or not. I am only bringing myself. If you are near South Bend/Mishawaka/Elkhart feel free to contact me.

I'm coming from work...and when I'm able to leave is unknown.
I should arrive between mid-afternoon and early evening.
This make carpooling difficult
I'm planning on hiking in from the southern trail head on Friday morning. On Saturday will be either hiking back or begging a ride to that trailhead. No riders in my vehicle.
I will be coming and bringing the sales manager from Grandtrunk Goods. I am going to be meeting up with and carpooling with Kayaknut and my guest from the Walmart in Columbus.
I plan to arrive on Friday, not sure if it will be in the early or late morning.
I'm willing to carpool if anyone is coming through NWI or lives on the 65 as I head south.
I will be leaving the Dayton area about 6am ish on friday(time not set in stone) and it's just me unless anyone around me needs a lift. I could fit 3 more people.

I hope there wwill be somebody at the Wallmart willing to pick me up?! (if I am not there by noon I won't be comming.)
Rug,
Sure hope you can make it. Would be fun to have this an international event.:laugh:
I regret your frustration with border events. Reminds me of the John Candy movie where Canada was "suspect" and going to "invade" the US. It was corny and my kids at the time loved it, kinda like Tommy Boy with Chris Farley, (yuck). I digress, but do hope to meet you. I want to talk Ontario rivers with you a bit!!:shades:
Would be useful to put the pertinent info as to specific locations in this thread. GPS coordinates of the two trail heads, the camp sites, etc. I was backtracking the main thread and I'm more confused now than I was before! (Admitedly, easy to do to me! ;) )
I'm 50/50 on being able to come right now. Fingers crossed!
Myself and Krugd from Northern Kentucky, arriving early am Friday (8-ish). Room for two more, can pick up along the way. Will likely stop by WalMart to see if anyone needs a ride.
I plan on arriving Friday 8-9 am, alone, may need to leave Sat evening.
Geez, you guys are getting there early!
I'll be coming down Friday morning some time (whenever I get up). Would have liked to carpool, but I'm not coming straight home. Going to stop in Greencastle on Sunday and take my daughter out for her birthday. If things change I'll post it.
Oms-1
I plan on arriving at Wal-Mart around noon on Friday. I can shuttle about 3 from Wal-Mart to the site if need be.
I will be Arriving Friday late afternoon with my buddy jaybod
I called Story Inn today. They said there is a field across the street from the Inn. The owner may allow us to park there for a small fee. The Story Inn sounded upbeat about it. I should get a call soon about it. That would solve the problem almost as well as Dplant's suggestion. I will let you know when I hear.
I am also calling the Sheriff's Office tomorrow to see about parking on the road right there at the trailhead.
Cool mule let us know. It would be nice to meet up and carpool in from a closer spot.
HoosierHang'grrrrrrzzzzzzz:boggle::)
Put ''dplant'' down:D
AND, I just may hike-in in the dark and give'ya'all a real HOOSIER ghost story?:scared:

At this point I am planning to come alone and arrive about noon but that is flexible.
I am coming up 65 from Sellersburg IN but can only car pool if I can be sure to be out by noon on Sunday.
Is the Story Inn in Nashville IN?Quote:

WWOOOOHOOOOO!!! GREAT NEWS, MULE!!!

I just want to be clear; for want of a comma, this could be read a few different ways.Quote:

As far off the road as possible, as the Nebo Ridge Trailhead parking lot overflows.
Directions to Trailhead:
From Columbus:
Travel west on IN 46 for 13 miles to IN 135 south.
Take SR 135 south, 9 miles to Story.
Veer off SR 135 at the Story Inn (this is Elkinsville Road, but it is unmarked).
Travel 2.7 miles and pass a gravel road on your right.
Take the left bend in the road and cross a bridge.
Go 0.3 miles then turn left into the parking area.
This newly constructed parking area was paid for with trail access fees.
A full Google map of the routes and parking and trailhead will be made tonight.
I'll be there with my friend on Friday morning. We will be leaving Saturday afternoon.
Friday at some point. I'm coming in solo.
Here is the Lat & Long. for the Trail-Head:
39.079379° -86.248823°
I hope someone there has a truck and a tow strap just in case. Or we could really test our whoopie slings. :lol::lol::lol:Quote:

We will be coming up with some way to make sure men go one way and women go another way for bathroom issues. The creek is beautiful where we will be camping. I expect we will be spread out for a couple hundred yards along it's banks. It's going to be a great time. Details will follow. Any suggestions are welcome.Quote:

Hang an extra tarp up and do some kind of privy.? One spot for ladies and another for guys. That way theres a little privacy and two big cat holes? just a thought.
or this?

It ain't pretty, but we got to do something to lighten the impact?
How bout a 5 gal pail with bottom cut out over a hole? Now thats redneck.Quote:

gulp.
BigB will be there as long as school doesnt get in the way, which I dont except it to.
Looking like I'll try to get there Friday 12pm or earlier.
Who's yer Hang ...
Seems to me there are a LOT of hangers that do not know the area arriving at many different times?
Brown Hollow and Browning Hill are both a decent hike from the Nebo Ridge Trailhead with many different side trails.
How are those arriving at a not pre-determined "start" time going to find either of the above? Got Map? :scared:
Opppps more logistics for 8am'er Mule?
dp:cool:
I requested the day previous off, so that arriving earlier won't be a problem.
If you start from the northern parking lot, it's pretty hard to get lost if your following the markers we'll have setup. Once you get to the creek, your nearly there.
Thanks Mule for your hard work.
