2013 Spring MAHHA Summary and Video

[QUOTE='[o]TTeR;999776']I can’t take all the credit for that, when we were standing around the campfire Friday night someone (not sure who) said “Of course, the Canadians are on Site A (emphasized eh)”. My immediate thought was “Yep, that site sign is getting Ps’d as soon as I get home!”

That was my pop "OldMart". Humor runs in the family, sometimes with scissors.

Don't know if anyone saw my original post since it was in the wrong trip report thread. I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure to meet those of you that I did, and I look forward to meeting those I didn't next time. It was truly amazing how well everyone took to and treated a total noob. I really appreciate all the time and hard work that went into planning such a large event. I am really glad I received that little extra incentive (otter). This will go down as one of the best gathering of people I have ever been apart of, and I thank you all.
I was walking around most of the time snapping pictures. I will link to some of those at the bottom of this post. If you see any you want send me a pm and I will send you the full sized version without the watermark.
Thanks again for everything

Nice early start and a nice trail to go with it. 100 hangers... WOW! That’s a lot! Has to be the group hang of the year! The slideshow was good, until I saw a tent dweller tent. lol Heaps of stuff for the raffle! That was the biggest group photo I’ve ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to put the video together, 2Questions, really good!

[QUOTE=XTrekker;998761]Just want to say I had a blast and thanks to everyone that helped make this happen. Looking forward to the next one. And I love my Titanium spoon I won.
Had a blast sitting around the campfire laughing for hours on end. Yall guys are hilarious. Just wanted to also say that the food was awesome. Thanks to those who spent all that time putting it all together. Hope to see yall again on future Hangs.

BTW, my Acurite actually worked this time and the record low for Sat night was 35F.


Thanks for the video, XTrekker!

Well we got home safely and enjoyed recounting the fun and festivities of the Spring MAHHA these last two days... Like Dutch said, "MAHHAs just keep getting better".

So.... The Raffle Report... First a big thank you to all the vendors and individuals who contributedrizes tio the raffle. And a shout out to those who paid to play and bought raffle tickets. This approach is whole lot more fun than two or three folk running around collecting to cover the various expenses of the park, pig etc.

Raffle took in an even $2500.

$ 1100 went to reimburse the out lays of PSFSP site and facilities rental and the cost of the Pig Roast.

$ 200 went to cover the outlays of the name tags...These really made it easiier on a lot of aging minds like mine !

$ 80 went to cover a Fall 2012 debt on the Saturday breakfast... We eat good!

$350 was dispursed to reserve all the sites and pavillion for 2014 MAHHA... As was the group consensous after Dinner Saturday night... So no one would be out of pocket for this cost during the year until we hang again.

$500 was sent to Pine Grove Furnace State Park as a donation to help maintain and improve their wonderful facilities.

$ 270 was sent to Support our forums of Hammockforums and Whiteblaze.

Be Safe and enjoy your hangings!
