    White Mountains Hang

    I will be hanging/camping/fly fishing/exisiting in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire next Mon and Tues nights (6/21-22). I will ba hanging at a commercial campground (Lost River Valley Campground, Rte 112, North Woodstock, NH.) at the confluence of Lost River and Walker Brook, site# 111.

    When I called and told them I would be hanging, they thought it was cool! The tent sites are separated from the RVs and yahoos and reserved for backpackers - right on the brook!

    Any HF member that would like to drop by for a while. Please do! I will be in a HH Exped with a Camo Hex fly - very minimalist camp. Gonna eat a few ground critters while there.

    Let me know if you will be coming by!

    Trip report with pics - of course - the following week when I get home.

    I'll see if I can bring you some dinner! I don't know if I'm working or not. But if I'm not working, I'll come up there for a break from the real world!

    ===> Would be great to meet ya, FireFly! I may be off fishing somewhere near dusk. But sharing some food and stories together would be great!
    Hope you can get out!

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Francesca!

    Looked pretty good to me online ... leaving Monday. Got a good hanging site (I hope!), and will take some pics and post 'em.

    Can't wait!

    Heading Out Today!

    Almost finished packing-up! Heading out today for the White Mountain National Forest in NH. I am taking a pile of stuff I normally wouldn't to do some testing in camp. Pack weighs a zillion pounds right now, but I will have the SUV with me - so not a problem this trip!

    Will take some pics of the camp, and some of my experiments.
