2nd Annual NOVA November Hang

[Tinmar]

If its going to be cold out I would prefer it to snow, it just makes me feel warmer.

Looks like it gong to be a bit cold. Calling for rain and 38 Friday into SAT

[Tinmar]

Now it looks like 47 highs with low 20s. Test time for winter rigs.

[Tinmar]

Make that highs in the low 50s and Lows in the low 30s. I was looking at local temps not Quantico.

[Tinmar]

Back into the 20s.

Prince William Forest Park to close Oak Ridge Campground and
Chopawamsic Backcountry

Prince William Forest Park will close Oak Ridge Campground and the
Chopawamsic Backcountry area beginning December 1, 2013; both areas will reopen March 1, 2014.

For the first time in over 25 years, Prince William Forest Park will close the Oak Ridge Campground for a portion of the year. Traditionally, Oak Ridge Campground is open year-round for camping. With a decrease in the federal operations budget, Superintendent Vidal Martinez was forced to examine ways to reduce costs while limiting the impact upon park visitors.

How would the closing affect us? Will we still be able to stay over on Saturday night (Nov 30) into Sunday (Dec1)? This could suck cause I am only able to come Saturday.

Not a problem. They are closing "Oakridge" - we will be at "Turkey Run Ridge" campground. Correct...??????

Any one else pick up any new gear they'll be bringing along?

New TQ & UQ from Stormcrow! His 0-degree Incubator and 0-degree Burrow.

And, new hammock stand using DanMoto's cool brackets.

Just read back thru this thread. The original plan was to be at Oakridge NOT Turkey Run. We need to talk with the Rangers and make sure they will allow us to be there 12/01. <== That is a Sunday; so, I doubt they will object.

I've printed out the Superintendent's Compendium and should have it at the camp out for last minute reference's.
