I got there about 1:30. The quilt guy was giving his demo and I set up my hammock. I sat down around the fire before the sun went down and broke open the half smokes just as the Shepard's pie got served.

Must be minor differences in thermometers, but said 25° this morning. Split the difference and call it 27°!
Great hang and amazing time by all. Sadly, I really don't have any pictures to contribute. The couple I have are either fire, food, or food on the fire.

I just want to say thanks to all those who came out for the hang. I had a blast meeting you new hangers and catching up with you old timers. Even you Ted. Food this year was great again and plentiful.
Thanks to Bartlax4 (Jared) at Mid Atlantic Mountain Works, for taking a few hours away from your new baby to share some your cozy top quilts. One more item to add to the wishlist.
Also thanks to PapaSmurf for sending a Sparrow and Raven for us to experiment with. Those are some sweet hangs. BatMeg, who had never even been camping before got a great introduction using the Sparrow. I know this won't be her last time.
Thanks to the guys who made multiple wood gathering runs to keep us all warm as we gathered around the campfire.
I truly enjoy the convo and appreciate the insight y'all share. I'm already thinking about what we will be doing next year for the 6th Annual NOVA Hang.

Darn, I didn't know the bald spot on the back of my head was getting that big! Lol

This a great place to hang, just a short hike up to Great Falls on the Maryland side.
