    MI - 3rd Annual Gluttony Hang -Elmira, MI, Nov. 3-6, 2016


    Once again, the time is upon us to start planning for the 3rd Annual 2016 Gluttony Hang, taking place Thursday, Nov. 3 to Sunday, Nov. 6. This year we've changed the location and moved the hang to private property approximately 15 miles southwest of Gaylord, MI. It's only a few miles away from where we were last year at Pinney Bridge in the Jordan River Valley. This 120 acre tract is owned by Turkey's Father-in-law Gary and he has graciously allowed use of the property. Please send a PM to Turkey for directions.

    There are acres of hardwood forest where you can setup anywhere. Note, please no personal campfires, since this is a group event. There's an improved farm road to the location and it's fine for any type of car or truck. On the edge of the woods, there will be a plowed (if snow) or mowed area for parking. Nearby will be the Gluttony 2016 base camp with firepit, tables, and a pop-up canopy (I have one, could use more) and a rented porta-john. Note, if everyone could kick in $10 to cover the cost, that would be appreciated. Water is available from a tap at the property owners house, but it's a drive so bringing a couple gallons of water is recommended. There is plenty of firewood available and a party store for those extras minutes away. Note, Turkey will be posting photos of the location later.

    The theme for the hang is Gluttony, it's as simple as that. All food is cooked over the fire on the grill, cast iron frying pan or dutch oven. Bacon is cooked on the hour and there is always something to tempt those tastebuds. The options are endless, so feel free to bring whatever you want to share with the group. As we get closer to the hang, we'll have a better idea of how many are attending, so people can plan accordingly. Please feel free to post what food/meal you plan on bringing. I'm planning on bringing my cornbread and sausage gravy, plus my new favorite camp meal of buffalo chicken mac n cheese. Bacon is always appreciated and it's always great seeing what can be made with natures most perfect meat. I seem to remember chocolate covered bacon at Green Timbers '16.

    If anyone wants to bring some small (or large) items for trading, bring it along and see if you can find it a new home. I know I've got a few things in my gear closet that I wouldn't mind parting with.

    Last year, around 20 people showed up and we had a great time connecting with old friends and making new ones. So, come one, come all and let's start off the Michigan winter hang season!

    I may have to try and make this one. I have a place in the Jordan River Valley also! I'll have to see how the calendar cooperates.

    As I mentioned at the July hang, I will have to miss this one. I'm going deer hunting the following week so that's not enough time to regenerate another hall pass.

    Sounds like it will be a great time. Very nice of Turkey's father-in-law to loan out the land. Contact Dave with any questions about the spreadsheet.

    Will have to see if this will work out. I will be just getting back from Linville Gorge at the end of October

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!

    The Jordan Valley sure is beautiful. Hope you can make it!

    Spreadsheet? We don't need no stinkin' spreadsheet . Food for the hangs always just seems to to have a way to work itself out. We will miss your weather updates for this one, but if you can't help yourself, we understand. See you at Green Timbers '17!

    As always, we count on you for your dutch oven, pot roast and breakfast extravaganza.

    Living that retired life makes me strive for it even more, but I've still got a few more years. Enjoy the Gorge and hopefully you'll be able to join us on another epic Michigan hang.

    I'm looking forward to November already, but there's still lots of hanging and hiking to do before then. We'll keep posting more details as it unfolds....

    I'm going to mark this on the calendar and play it by ear. If work doesn't get in the way, I'm going to try and make it. Just can't promise anything.

    Gonna try and make it up. My wife grew up in Gaylord and we love hiking the JRV. It all depends on how baby #2 and mamma are doing.
