Is it a Lyre? All jokes aside

I've edited the sign-up sheet, all you have to do is fill out the info on you and your guests. After you do that the statistics should update after you enter data, please do not change the formulas. If you do a warning will pop-up as I can't lock it but maybe Timberr can lock those sections. I still need to work on one part of the graph on the attendance by day but it is working for now and I'm tired.

There are about 87 or so that are signed up for the greatest show on earth. Wait, that's taken. The largest group hang in the world.

Please make sure your listings are correct with regards to you, your guests and your children in the correct columns. Meal planning is important for so many great hangers and we don't want to waste food.

Last year, we were North of 320 folks. Yall were great and we want you back. Check out the dates and get your vacations into HR for approval. Or just stop by for the weekend and enjoy some Florida Hang style.

It's already in the upper 60's the last few nights and I'm getting excited to burn some wood. Hoping for enough cold to burn thru 2 cords.

Going to feel good being back "home"!

Lilricky, glad you'll make it back "home".

For the Hikers:
I've been playing with the idea of "leading" a hike on the FT for the hikers in the group. Please tell me if this is of interest to you so I can plan on proceeding with the idea.

The plan is for a day hike on the Florida Trail from Juniper Springs North to Hidden Pond. It's about 5.5+ miles (2-3 hours or so) and I will make lunch at Hidden Pond. The next leg will take you North on the Florida Trail to Pat's Island trailhead. It's about 3.5+ miles (1-2 hours).

The option on the 2nd leg is a short trip to the ancient sink hole and/or to the Long Family homestead/cemetery on the Yearling Trail. I would need someone knowledgeable of the history here to lead this part if we do it.

The group will all be dropped off at Juniper Springs and picked up at Pat's Island Trailhead and then back to Doe Lake. Another option for some could be to hike out with me after leaving Hidden Pond via Hidden Pond Short trail about 2.5 miles. I'm using this trail to get the cooking items into camp after dropping off the group and back out to pick them up.

Please chime in if this is something that is of interest to you AND the best day for you. Drop off at Juniper is as close to 8am as possible. Friday would be my choice for the hike as to not mess with Saturday's itinerary.
