Dang it, it looks like I am gonna have to be in JAX that weekend :(
MM- I have missed both of you in the last few hangs. I will make a nice fire in your honor.
WaffleBox- Jacksonville is only 1 1/2 hours away. You could sneak away for a short nap?
Hmmm....time for a trip to hidden pond. Put me down as a definite maybe....:lol:
Dang! Y'all are going to have a crowd. I'll be thinking of the bunch while swinging in the 50°f of Frankfort Maine. Looks like a bunch of new faces and some we haven't seen in awhile. Have fun and I'll see y'all in the fall.
We'll have to have a "Welcome back, Olddog" fall hang so you could enjoy this great little Hidden Pond gem.
Just a little note. Some of the great trees have fallen from a summer storm last year. The wind came from the West (Crooked Sapling Pond) and blew them down. At the cost of a great view in the morning, that should give some good firewood this year.
Attendance. It's not mandatory to sign up, it's just nice to see who's coming.

Zuki! Was about to message you to see if you were back from overseas. It will be great to see you again. Now we have another reason for MAD777 to get out into the heat.
Okay I think I should be able to work it out so that I can come down at least for the day Saturday, and possibly overnight until Sunday. Should it be reasonably easy for me to find everyone?
Yes. If you're coming in from the north (Pat's Island), hike southbound on the FT (follow the orange blazes) until you find yourself coming downhill into a largish clearing with a nearly-rectangular pond on your right. There's a small sandy area next to the trail that serves as a beach and leads down into the water. Before that, there will be a path that leads off to the right into an oak hammock. Follow that back, and it'll be hard to miss everyone.
If you're coming in from the south (Juniper Springs), you'll still come downhill into the area, but the pond will be on the left and the path will be after the beach area.
Hope it helps!

Also, zuki! Great to hear from you! One more reason to make it...
