Attention! Fall MAHHA to relocate. No longer at BRC in Virginia.
Fall MAHHA to relocate! No longer at BRC in Virginia.
By mutual consent of the MAHHA organizers and the Blue Ride Center, it has been decided to move the Fall MAHHA out of the BRC. Both sides tried to make it work, but it was agreed the large size of our group would be detrimental to the primitive camping area that is usually closed to the public.
As people who love the outdoors, the MAHHA organizers believe in the conservation mission of the Blue Ridge Center and we are appreciative of the time and consideration they gave us in trying to make our event work. Especially AB Harris. I know you all will support this decision as well. And I'm glad the concerns were raised months in advance so as not to be a major hassle to people's travel plans.
Announcements will be made when a new hang site is found. We will still try to keep to the 3rd weekend in October, but it all depends on the availability of the new location.
Thanks for your continuing support of the Fall MAHHA through our growing pains! You all are the best!

Understood. Will announcement on new location be made on this thread? Are there any ideas on where it may end up being held?
Thanks for all the hard work that is put into this event.

I believe Green Ridge is state forest land which is more flexible on regulations than state parks. The campsites are fairly spread out though. I will brainstorm and ask around for ideas. Have you looked into any of the MD or VA state parks for group camping capabilities? Are we trying to keep this a "hike in" event still?
