    And it looks like we are able to donate $500 to the NCT! Not bad considering the weather...

    We will see in the A.M.!!
    Stay safe.

    Thanks to Ryan, Pammie Ray, and our new host, Phil. Excellent job putting on another successful and fun hang for everybody. Thanks to the cooks and coffee brewers.
    Thanks to folks who traveled far and wide to the hang.
    We cannot control the weather.
    The garage is filled with wet gear and mud.

    Why did they have a 8 foot tall dumpster?

    Fabulous time of year for this. Even with the rain the scenery was amazing.

    Sounds like the Wisconsin delegation all traveled back home in a constant rain - and some downpours where the windshield wipers could barely keep up. Some pretty epic lightning in Indiana and Chicago though.

    We definitely want to hear how the night goes for the FEARLESS FIVE !!!

    Another great time at the MI Fall Hang! Perhaps a little bit on the moist side this year but a good time all the same. A big THANK YOU to Phil, Pam, and Ryan for organizing the event and another big THANK YOU to the vendors who donated so many great items for the raffle. As always good to see everyone again and meet some new folks as well.
    Good luck,

    To only step where others have stepped means not to have your own adventures. Live, Love, and Adventure so you may leave your own foot prints!

    The FEARLESS FIVE survived the night! Had a pretty good thurderstorm and light show around midnight for maybe an hour. Then a little wind this morning. But had a break from rain and was able to get packed up and out by 8-830 this morning.
