    What I was thinking was maybe get together for a hang just as kind of a greet and meet at lets say Lake of the Ozarks State Park for a weekend. After Labor Day the state parks tend to get blissfully deserted. From there we can talk about what kinda outdoor activities we are all interested in and maybe plan an adventure from there. I was thinking Lake of the Ozarks S.P. because it's centrally located and its right on the lake and there are plenty good campsites with trees to hang from. I was also thinking the weekends of Oct. 9-11 or 23-25. Those are the weekends I'm off work.

    I thought I'd through this out there. Some of us were kicking around the idea of a Ozark Trail hike and hang in mid November. No detailed plans have been made yet, but it was an idea that garnered some positive responses.

    Lar-i: Right now either of those weekends would work for me. Thanks for getting this rolling!

    The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

    My preference would be the weekend of Oct. 9-11. Will be real close to foliage peak but whatever is most convenient for the group will work for me. I'm pretty flexible on either weekend.

    So how do we get this ball rolling?

    Pot luck?

    Sounds like something I could get into. Will have to see what weekend dates are considered before I can commit.

    I'd be game for almost any weekend *except for October 9-11* because that is the Northern Hang on the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota. So if there's another one or a different date, you can probably count me in.

    I posted an official invite in the events forum to try and generate some interest. We can explore the possibilities from there and hopefully we can make something happen.
