Hey, nice video! I really enjoyed seeing what happened the first night before I arrived. Wish I'd had a chance to see more of Dave's stuff.

Thanks for sharing that! :)

I brought my family to the Red River Gorge Memorial Day hang last year; bdpalace also brought his boy. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF3tJUy1ugE

I also take one of my kids on a trip...

Nah...you're much more fun with your mouth open. :lol:

I should have shot a video of you sleeping on the way to Mt. Rogers--that would have counted, right?? No, wait...your mouth was hanging...

You're welcome, Pete, and you were missed. BTW, I don't think the brownies lasted 5 minutes after I arrived....;)

Hope to see you next time. :)

No, it's you we ALL need to thank for creating such an awesome nighttime ambiance. I had to forcefully talk myself out of getting a flute myself.

"I don't need another hobby, I don't need another...

Okay, video is done. Hope you all like it. It was fun to do, believe me. :D

You can see it here: 2011 Hoosier Hang Video

Great photos, salamander. Thanks so much for the flute music--it really was nice. I could have sat there listening to you all night, wish I could have heard more.

The video is done, just...

Sorry you were sick and had to leave, but I'm glad you came.

Thanks, everyone, for the photos. Video is in progress. :)

I positioned myself to make sure I would not be the one to find out.... :lol:

Last year at the South trailhead, kilt-bearing Grizz asked Don and I if we minded if he lead off. I said, "as long as...

HA! :lol:

Good list, Randy. It was a wonderful surprise seeing that you made it down.

Awesome weekend, in spite of and partially due to the weather. Great seeing everyone, meeting some and...

Off work in about an hour and then hitting the road. Will hopefully be rolling in to camp by 8:00 if storms or rush hour traffic don't get in the way.

Will miss you, Pete. :(

And you'll miss the brownies. :sneaky: :tongueup:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I am hoping to do a better job of videography this year, so stay tuned, Chris. :D

Yeesh, that doesn't sound like fun. FWIW, I do know what that's like. It wasn't too many years ago that I worked 7 days a week with multiple jobs. I had periods of 2-3 months without a day off. ...

[QUOTE=otter46544;448135]Hate to say it but I am out. It is unfortunate but hey thats life. Ill see some of you next month at the North Manitou Hang. It should be a fun adventure. /QUOTE]
...

Weather: I plan for cold and rainy and am just tickled pink when it's warm and sunny. I love the sound of rain on the tarp. Didn't used to be that way when I was in a tent...HATED the rain then. ...

From Google Earth: 39° 3.574'N 86° 14.790'W

That will put you in the middle of the pines on Combs Road South of Nebo Ridge and Browning Hill. I don't know exactly where the others are planning...

Would love to have you, but I hope you have a silicone sleeve...are you worried about blisters with a new socket? Be careful out there...:)

Not following this. You would have to climb back up Combs Road, wouldn't you? Brown Hollow is on the other side of Nebo Ridge. I'm wondering if we are all talking about the same place. I attached...

Sorry to hear, but glad you have work!

Oh, that's sad. I was looking forward to seeing you again, Rug. :(

You are doing the right thing, though. She needs you more. Good Hubby. :)

Last I heard it was going to be held on Saturday, so if it is on Friday please disregard my contribution to the raffle as I will be arriving at or shortly after dark and will therefore miss it. ...

Yes, that is how I remember it.

If you don't pay attention, you can easily miss the trail heading back toward Berry Ridge Road. Look closely at the first map. Look in the bottom right corner: ...

WoooHooo! Glad to hear! :D

Rigidpsycho: I'm sad to hear that you can't make it, but glad your job is working out. I'm sure we'll meet up again soon....

Thought it might be a good idea as this hang gets closer to repost my video trip reports from last year, for everyone just finding this thread. Because, you know, 670 or so posts makes for tough...

Almost--just down Combs road South from point 5. Not sure exactly where they are talking about but I bet they won't be hard to find. There are several groves of pines down there. Otter and I had...

I don't remember myself. I think Jerry was in charge of the raffle.

I'm planning on bringing a HF logo biner or two to toss in, as it's looking like I'm not having time to make another kitchen...

Here you go, but I think my other maps are better. Just sayin'.....

gmcttr: nailed it. :)

Tendertoe and Hammike: Feel free to print the attached maps on post #52. They are essentially the same. In fact, better in ways... ;)

Sta-puf: WooooHooooo! Looking...

New developments: I may be able to have Friday off from work, or maybe get off a bit early. If I get the whole day off, I'd be happy to carpool from the Cincy area (meet up at Lawrenceburg?), and...

Busted! :lol: I don't know about 20 pounds, but might not have been far from it. I know my pack felt MUCH lighter WITH water on Saturday on the way up the hill, after most of the bag was gone......

Me, too. I thought the beer and Coffee Crisps were great ideas for the raffle, especially since they were Exotic, Foreign Delicacies.:boggle: You know, from that other country way up there. :lol: ...

First, go to post # 52 of this thread.

At waypoint #5, turn left going South on Combs road. Just walk down hill until you find a nice spot (lots of them) and hang your hammock.

Wish I could...

Jerry--great idea. And save me a piece of that doe...:jj:

d-p (if that's still what your forum name is when you read this :lol:)--I remember the bottle! Looking forward to chatting with you...

I'm going to try to make another stove/pot set. Kind of depends on when the raffle will be held. I'm not sure I'll make it early enough if it happens on Friday night.

Man, that's a bummer, Pete. I mean, what nerve.

Just kidding, of course. I'll say a prayer for him (he'll need it once physical therapy starts...) :lol:

Yes. It's a nice hike, but you share it with bikes, so keep that in mind.



Check out Post #52 of this thread. :D

If you come in from the South, keep in mind that once you turn west away...

Don't know, haven't decided. Still thinking about it.* He doesn't take up much room, though, so hopefully it won't affect the accomodations! :lol: :lol: :lol:

*Trying to decide how much weight...

Hey, linuxhack--glad you will be there again! Cool that you're bringing your son. I may bring my 7 year-old, as well. It is 2 weeks before his 8th birthday, and though we usually do a father/son...

Woohoo! Good to hear, Rug and Exdiver! Looking forward to seeing you both again!

There are some cool stories being shared here....;)

Do you? Really? :scared:

Some things may be better left unknown....:scared:

The feeling's mutual, Jerry!

Wildcrafter, last year there was an eclectic assortment of gear, some homemade, some well-used, some purchased new for the raffle. There was also some kind of...

I for one sure hope you can make it, Gargoyle! :)

The trail is very easy to follow from the South. It is also used by mountain bikers (they are supposed to slow down and let you know they are there, and you are supposed to step aside and let them...

Don't know how I missed this before...mighty nice of you to say. The feeling's mutual, my friend. :) Looking forward to "hangin' out" again!

You can see that area in my second Hoosier Hang video at the beginning and where I'm talking to the camera. It's just down Comb's Road a mile or so.

Here's another video of the area, coming in this time from the North Trailhead in July, going straight to Browning Hill.

You can see that Mule's caution tape was still alive and well at that time!...

I plotted coordinates for the way in to Browning Hill from the North trailhead for my hike in last summer (since I had only hiked in from the South previously). I used Google Earth, and the...

Oh, and I'd be happy to record this hang again. I'll try to talk less and photo/video more. :rolleyes: However, I would still appreciate very much if people would again send me photos to include in...
