    Smile Fall NEHHA poll

    Hi all,

    Many of you know I had picked out the dates for Fall Nehha. I was hoping to do it at DAR but the weekend I picked, it was taken. The original weekend is Friday Sept 27-29th. I can get Mohawk Trail State Forest for that weekend, however, it is not my favorite place for many reasons: one it is noisy from traffic on Rt. 2, second, there aren't as many places to hang, third: there aren't as many mountain bike trails and hiking trails as DAR.

    I am able to get DAR for Friday Oct 4-6th.

    The question. Would people prefer to keep the Date in Sept and go to Mohawk, or do Oct 4th and be at DAR.

    Please answer asap.

    Thanks, your friendly fall nehha organizer.

    PS if anyone wants to organize a raffle for the hang please contact me.

    Not sure what other hangs are happening in the fall, like the pumpkin one, but if I could go, which I can't, I would want the October dates at the better venue. That's my opinion though. Regardless, hope everyone has fun! I'll be at the Fryeburg Fair!

    I'm ok with either weekend but like the DAR campsite better than Mohawk.

    Prefer the DAR but I work that weekend. Might be able to work a swap with someone.

    I have no preferences on date or place.
    I work Saturdays so any time there is a hang or anything in life that is on a Saturday I have to request the day off. By that time of year I’m usually out of days so I’ll try to get to wherever it will be but can’t commit yet.

    Other options for location-
    1)Tully lake awesome but lots of red tape.
    2)Ashby- No rules , affordable, central but same ole same ole Ashby
    3)Combine with the pumpkin hang- The first GPH was the fall hang since then it became its own thing.

    No real preference but this is just about the end of my camping season. I'm not a winter camper anymore. The earlier dates would be my choice as a result.
