To book what's listed above, I've made a first night's payment on, and reserved 3 sites for the Thursday night advance group and an additional 5 sites for normal people Friday-Sunday.
Several folks have already reserved their own sites in addition to those I've booked and there are still a couple of dozen more sites left for others to reserve so there's plenty of room for everyone who wants to attend.
Also I am nearly certain that Wolf Track, Wrangler88, KerryP, and Skyclad each have sites reserved so that brings our total to ...

Glad you're ready and on standby!
I'm packing propane and a jetboil.
Hey Mike, Pamela and I will be there Thursday afternoon. Let me know if I need to pick up a site.

Ooh...I like the idea of learning to make a cozy....I'll be in on that one.
I think I'll bring along my whetstone and honing oil if anyone hasn't seen and might be interested in how to hand-sharpen a knife...I've recently refreshed my memory as I started messing around with whittling.
Yeah, we collect hobbies

I have one for you two already Shane!
This hang is going to be EPIC!

Call me "fired up Freddy!" Can't wait.
Set up the Honeymoon Suite yesterday just to learn how before the hangout. (Smokehouse, I finally got it out of the stuff sack and I must say that thing is amazing. You do good work.)
Bought our food for the hangout this morning (with no plans on using charcoal
Added an adjustable ridge line to the WL Light Owl in preparation for 3 nights out!
Decided to offer a couple of hammocks and a tarp to the hangout attendees before I place them up for sale on the forum. You must be at the hang to get these. They will go on sale Saturday at the hang to give everyone time to see them and hang in them Friday if so desired. I won't take any PMs on these before the hang. Prefer cash at the hang.
BLACK 1.1 DL Warbonnet Blackbird with stock strap suspension and double ended stuff sack. $160. I bought this from Brandon late in 2010. I spent three nights in it, then sold it to Patriothomer. He didn't like it, and wanted to try a WBBB 1.7 DL, so we traded hammocks and I ended up with the black 1.1 dbl again. I have only had it out for test hangs a couple of times since then.
TtTTG 1.9 SL NETLESS Switchback with 8' long 7/64" Amsteel whoopie suspension and stock TtTTG bishop bag. $100. I bought this directly from Darby at TtTTG back in August. I have only had it out for short hangs a couple of times. No nights spent in the hammock. Tree straps ARE NOT included.
(Conditional. Only if I can find it. It's in the gear closet somewhere.) Guide Gear 12' Tarp. $25. This is brand new. I've had it out of the plastic one time to compare to my Kelty Noah's Tarp 12. More than a great tarp for that money.
