just getting started from Northern VA

[peteypk]

@sdveirs, thanks for droppin' by to say hi!

I used to live in Mcnair Farms in Herndon! And oddly, Bull Run is just about in my "backyard" and I've yet to visit! I'm gonna have to do some research on where we can hang around here -- i just wanna get out there and hang!

I'm really diggin' the idea of hammocking more... please keep me posted of any local VA hangs you run across!

If you all know of some nice places to camp and hang within a couple of hours drive from the Washington DC area, please let me know! [/B]

Bull Run Park is close, if you don't mind campgrounds. We hang there often in the winter when the park is not crowded.

Hey Peteypk,

I too am in N. VA, probably right in your neighborhood. I live and work in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. I'm always up for a trip so just let me know if you'd like to get out in the wild soon.

Hey, Pete, welcome.
I'm more of a central VA., myself
Check out SNP, Old Rag mtn, is a great hike, and you can back country camp.
