It's nice to have more rememberances of a good time.
The first offical night of the hang, if I bounced in the hammock, I could brush against the ground. I didn't want my down to get wet! My 12' hammock needed adjustment under my 10 1/2' new tarp. I...
Well, it was great having so many people show and stick out the weather. The weather actually wasn't so bad and created an opportunity to fine tune gear lists and equipment.
Thursday - a lot...
Happpy B-day, sorry to hear you won't be attending.
Again, same basic plans as last year.
Last year we had plenty of room in the parking lot, especially with those who parked at the other...
Sorry you guys won't be coming.
Of course, like "normal" people good weather is prefered; however, if I waited for good weather, nothing would get done or enjoyed. I'm packing for cool wet...
With going to school and trying to wrap up my school projects before the week, I can barely keep in touch with all the posts! :) I have Thursday off (after I get off work at 6AM). It's up in the...
Sorry I haven't posted for several days, but school and work have taken all my time. I know there a a lot of posts I haven't gotten to read, but I'll get to them after I get some sleep in me. I'm...
StayPuf - sorry you won't be attending! For some reason, I thought you were on the list.
golfhiker - the basic details are at the beginning of the thread. There really isn't much of anything that is changed. A few people will be arriving on Thursday for an extra night.
I'll...
Great source of information. Thanks for posting it.
Sorry to hear you both had troubles, but at least you made the effort to attempt it. Glad your both back and alive. I did part ot the tecsumha trail (know I spelled it wrong) the year before last,...
Mule is hiking Knobstone for about a week.
Aaron, good for you!
Aaronalso - where are you located in Indiana. Your profile doesn't indicate it.
The muffins sound good for the eat n' greet on Fri.
Rug - if you can make it to Southbend or Elkhart, I can take you down and back. The train from Detroit goes through those two stops. The mini-van, has plenty of room. As for gear, I have extra...
The RAFFLE IS FREE
Mmmmm.... coffee crisps. I was lucky and won twice. HamMikes cookset, which was Be-ute-a-ful! And a package of coffee crisps -they are good! Hmmm - maybe I can get Rug to...
Last year it started out as a way to generate money for the HF, but Opies suggestion changed it. I really liked his idea and it worked. linixhack has the right idea. The raffle and the hang don't...
goat - sure it's ok. Don't know how you got that it wouldn't be.
Krugd - good to have you come again!
Mule - you been busy lately, hang'n, selling, buyingl, making stuff. Spring fever? :)
AaronAlso - the information is already on the thread.
The raffle isn't a way to get rid of unwanted and undesireable items. It's a way of sharing your skills or giving something that might be...
I just don't have enough "gas" to get the shirts done this year, unless it was the same shirt with a different year and color scheme. Instead, I had thought about doing a patch with the logo that was...
Welcome to the thread and we'd love to met ya at the hang! Besides meeting fantastic people with cool skills, you really can learn a lot on how to make your own gear and how to improve your own...
Otter - do you have a different calendar than I do? Last year's hang was the same weekend - tax weekend. Of course, it's good that my turkey hunting this year won't be effected - or the possiblity...
It's an easy slow hike to the Hollow, no more than 1 1/2 hours. And it was about 1 1/2 hours hike to the Hill (no more than 2 hours for sure). Going back to the parking lot from the Hollow was...
Yes, Fri is the Hollow and Sat. is the Hill. Thursday, well, that's HamMikes doing; however, I do believe it's in the Hollow as well.
I have an item I won at Trail Days I'll be offering and a...
Last year we did the raffle on Friday, but it too dark. Personally, I don't care as long as it's not on Sunday or when it's dark. Jerry, what were your thoughts on the raffle?
golhiker - hope to see you there. As far as the details, it's already set. Some are adding an extra day and arriving Thursday.
Your making me hungry!
It looks like Thursday is going to be the pre-party! LOL
A pit-o'meat? mmmmmm.
Sorry about the son not being able to show - Otter.
Last year the tickets were on paperhand written and hand torn. Between the two the entire weekend we had about 50-52 people.
A afternoon Fri. I won't expect bikers or at least many on the trail,...
Those coffee crisps were - mmmm good. I was lucky and won two prizes...
Crypto - good to have another local join the forum.
Rolloff - going ultralight has been great for me, but don't let it be a barrier for getting on the trail of attending the HH. The trail is...
I don't see why not. A DIY drum could be made easy enough too.
I'm partial to folk music.
I can bring my harmonica or mouth harp. I'm sure we have a good harmonica player amoungst the group.
So about that banjo... any plans on taking it to the Hang?
The last time I was in Story, I wanted a cold drink - cost me $2.50 for a 12 oz. soda. Don't plan on spending cash there unless you want to take out a loan. :)
LOL
I've spent part of the week organizing my gear on a wall. I'm excited for the hang to happen.
Gotta love a Star Wars Fan. Maybe we can roast an Ewok with some wild mushrooms.
I'd hunt mushrooms, but I'd end up with something deadly. Maybe a foot fungus. :)
Mike over estimates his snoring capabilities. Weak, very weak. :)
No fees or permits. Just the cost of getting there and keeping yourself fed.
Mike - Are you planning on bringing the family or just yourself?
Tax Day is April the 15th. Friday is the 15th, Saturday the 16th, and Sunday the 17th. The same as last year!
Skyline - I've debated whether to do T-shirts again. It was a lot of work...and...
Jerry, go ahead an take care of organizing the raffle, but let's keep the same format as last year - free. With people bringing something (or more) to be raffled).
Otter, keep count if you want. ...
Big Al - Love to see you there! I enjoyed our pre-hang hike.
Rolloff - you'd be welcome even with a tent. You can always buy a $20 hammock (something like an Eno or Grandtrunk on sale).
Skyline - I look forward to seeing you.
Set for the weekend of Tax day in America! We had a fun last year and I've been getting questions about whether I was looking it running it this year again (Without Mule last year never would have...
