I will bring plates, paper towels, and cups as part of my contribution.
I get to sit back and see what the smart kids come up with.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. I have singed up to arrive on the 8th. If I can arrange it I would like to be there on the 7th. I don't have any idea what I'm bringing for dinner or the...
If I am free on whatever weekend you do this, I would be interested.
You could always go to the Overmountain Shelter if Roan gets too crowded.
I hope y'all have a good weekend for this.
Here I was hoping I might sneak in on HFG and OG. It will be last minute before I can commit, but it would be nice to see everyone again.
Thanks for letting me know. I will keep the dates in mind and see if work cooperates.
That was a memorable Bear Island hang. That was the one where the chiropractor visited. Right now things look good for me to make it back to this hang.
Thanks for posting this. It was a great looking trip. I am glad you had a good(if wet) outing. Hopefully I will make it to another one soon.

Thanks. This was an amazing trip, even if we didn't make it to Darien. Maybe we can plan the hike/bike/paddle around an owl weekend.
Thank you twotrees for putting everything together. This was an amazing trip with a great group of people. As always the video and pics are great MM. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.
I am still hoping to make it.
Is it time to go yet?
A Poof trip!!! I want to go.
I will watch this thread with great interest. I have a couple of outings coming up, and I am going to see if the slight changes I have made help my legs. If I get...
I am glad to see it is back on their site. It was gone for a while and I couldn't help but think "what else would I get if something happened to mine?" I have only used it as a poncho a few times,...
Great video Poof.
That is the reminder we all need so that no one comes unprepared next year.

I keep checking the weather.
It looks like Sat morning we may be picking up garbage in the snow.
Kidd have you rehabilitated yourself?
My Toxaway at the Mt. Rogers hang.
Two years ago it rained off & on most of the weekend, but with the tarps set up everyone had a great time.
Y'all have a good weekend. One of these days I will make it to another one of these.

Its like you could read my mind. Thanks. I meant to post this yesterday, but never got around to it.
The site I ordered my neos from had these sizing instructions, and they worked well for me. I wear a wide shoe, and if I had ordered based on shoe size 11.5 the neos would not have been wide enough....
All from the seat of your pulk-yak.
Paul is great about getting back to you if you do send him a question.
If he builds this system similar to the one I have there are loops for each biner. So it wouldn't have to go through the d...
I hope you have a great time. This is the only weekend in Feb. that I have other plans already. Maybe I will make the next one.

$107.41 to be exact, and it has already shipped.
Thanks
See, I thought it was a Christmas stocking with some kind of magic snake oil complete w/ measuring cup that I wasn't going to have for this trip.
If at all possible I will make this one. I think Bear Island was the last one I made it to, and that has been too long.
It would be good to see you there Potneck. If I get a good weekend before...

Well it looks like I will be buying a pair of Neos and hopefully joining you. I want to talk to them about the sizing before I order, but I think I am good.
Now if I can get a little cold weather...
I had a great time being with everyone even if I did cut my trip short.
Thanks to Potneck, Sam, and John for all of the help.
Thanks again.

If you are on the north end of the lbl, keep an eye out for the crazies in kayaks. We will be in the area Nov 29-Dec 3.
Have a good trip.

I rec'd an error uploading the pics. I will try again when I hear back from a mod.
I will try to post some pics of the shoreline tomorrow. The wind was murder yesterday. It was even rough off of the water.

If this holds true I should be a speed demon on the water. Me + gear = one heavy boat. I will admit it is much more stable loaded down, just a beast to get up to cruise speed.
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick.......
Thanks Hangnout. This one prints where you can actually read it, not just guess at what the symbol is. I have a few of locations that I think look good. I will get with you next week. Have a good...
Have fun Neo. This looks like it will be a good trip.
Ragnall
Educated guesses indeed. 100% accurate based on this past weekend.
Here are a few pics from our shakedown cruise.
Should this say committed, or committable?
Either way I'm in. We did our own windy shakedown cruise this weekend. I don't have any video, but I will try to post a couple of pics later.
Ragnall
I got your back. I have gotten really good at falling out/off of the Kayak. If you need any assistance in that dept. I got you covered. I am hoping not to demo this skill on the trip though.

I can't let the other crazies have all the fun without me.
I knew I forgot something. I didn't get my book on pirate/sailor language. It looks like all I will know is Yaaar, and Shiver me timbers.
Thanks Neo.
As always these hangs are a crowd pleaser. Give it time and the Bear Island hang may get larger than the Meriweather Lewis hang.
Thanks,
Ragnall
I should make this one. I am supposed to be off that weekend.

The attachment points on mine are 2 mitten hooks that came with the ss. they just zip tie to each end of your hammock.
