    hangs to catch in North America

    Hi all,

    I am considering an extended road trip around North America and am wondering what the not-to-be-missed hangs are. At this point I'm not sure of my timing, so assume I could get to any of them, including any in Canada and Mexico.

    Thanks!
    Laura

    hangs to catch in North America

    For scenery in North Carolina
    John Rock Hang cozy, hike in toilets in parking lot about a mile down mountain
    Any Gorge Hang scenic lack of toilets
    Car campable
    Grayson Highlands very scenic trails and you get to see wild pony horses in summer with baby horses--car camping and toilets
    Yates car camping one vault toilet in block building lots of trees
    Merchant Mill Pond Hangs car camping paved parking lots bathhouses and great food

    Of these I really like John Rock--only 15 to 25 attend--and you can talk with everyone there--not many women go because of no bathroom except back at parking lot. You will be welcomed and there will be other women, usually one or two. John Rock is hike in
    For scenery and pony horses on short trails Grayson Highlands is hard to beat--car camping and flush toilets and sinks.
    Depends on what you want
    Some hangs have so many hammockers--you really can't get to know everyone.

    Way too many to list. I would just head out and hit the areas of the country you are interested in and now what we are interested in. You will find areas to hang in most areas of the country. Have fun and lucky you.

    The big one in Florida in HANG CON. It is in January (MLK day weekend usually) About 300 people attend and many vendors, yet, it doesn't seem too crowded and there are plenty of places to hang.
    The essential part of me can not be discussed here. Ask me in person.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Now I just have to hope I don't get this contract I'm up for. A year with 40+ hour weeks in an office vs. a year communing with nature. Some days I don't know why this is even a question!

    In the Carolinas, my top three picks would be SC Fall Sprawl, SC Spring Swing, and NC Smoke Butt Hang.... there are many more, but those seem to have a great crowd and more amazing food than you can possibly eat
