What is the hammock total right now? I should be bringing 4, anyone have a rough estimate of how many attendees?

Sign Up Sheet

Looks like 36 or so from the sign up sheet so far.

We're starting to push the maximum number of people they allow per group site, if we get a few more I'll look into booking an additional site.

Not sure if I'm going to make it. Hopefully when it gets a little closer I'll know more, can make it.......RR

I'm in, God willing.

I'm trying to find the Donations Link (without looking back through all of those barbecue photos again (Jeeezz! They were making me hungry last time!!).

Any chance someone could add that link to the sign-up spreadsheet?

My daughter and friend are planning to visit on Saturday and stay for Bar-b-Que but not camp out (I'm working on that- maybe next year).

- so I'll make a triple-donation to cover them - and I'll add a bit extra to help cover that second group site rental too. I'm guessing many folks will sign up as the date draws nearer...

Thanks for this great idea Catavarie! Barbecue and Hammocks and Paddling and Hiking and great HF camaraderie all in the same place! Wonderful idea!

I'm not going to ask for a specific amount as I wouldn't want anyone to feel bad if they couldn't afford to give that amount. I know how it is to be living of couch cushion change. Instead I'm asking for a donation of what ever you wish to give towards the fees. And despite what you can or cannot give everyone is invited to come and enjoy the festivities.

Feel free to paypal me with your contributions.

And dang it, Shug. You got me feeling hungry now.

Here ya go. I'll see if I can figure out how to add this to the spreadsheet...spreadsheets make me nervous!

Sign up sheet

There is going to be quite a crowd!

Just a friendly reminder for everyone, if you plan on coming please list yourself and the number of additional people that will be coming with you on the Sign Up Sheet. Even if you can't contribute anything to the group meal, that is fine. I simply need to know how many people to expect so that if we need to pick up the next group site I can do so early on. There are 4 sites at the location and one of those has been grabbed up, so only 2 more left. I'd want to grab the one adjacent to ours if possible. The sheet currently shows us very close to the party limit for the first site and if I need to book the other site I will do so. Also it will give me an excuse to go out and do another video walk through of that site and all the space between the two as well.

Thanks for shooting a video of the campsite. I have camped at Falls a couple times and have seen this site with my own eyes. The camping areas at Falls are top notch. Thank you once again for putting this on.

This tread is making me hungry. Hope it is a great time. I will be chasing gobblers in GA and mommy will only let me have some much time away. Look forward to the reports.
