I agree with everything that has been mentioned above. I'm all for a move to a more organized area not necessarily an over organized hang. I can deal with and appreciate the camping situation at...
Toilet seat in the vault is broken. I put some duct tape on it buts it's not enough. If someone could bring a roll of some sort of heavy duty tape it would get us by until the rangers can replace it
Sounds like a plan. I have a portable propane grill (small) that can do maybe 9 patties at a time.
If some of our other old time cooks bring griddles we should be set
I'm thoroughly convinced there's not a sane person here including myself
I plan to arrive by 3:00 see you all then
I've just finished a nice spicy chicken,sausage and shrimp gumbo and some jalapeno cornbread. At least you can pretend you're on the Bayou Saturday

We'll see you'uns tomorrow
I'm still in but depending on conditions or how I'm feeling I may leave on Saturday

Maybe you want to update the spreadsheet to reflect those that are definitely not coming

My van is new and I've never tested it in snow or slushy conditions. It's basically sheet metal over a frame with FWD
I've never had a problem driving an Accord in the snow, no vehicle...
I'm on the fence as well. I take a massive amount of blood thinners and get cold easily.
I have the gear but if I need to bail I have a camper van and a nice propane heater. I'm coming even if I...
I have a light weight front wheel drive van. I'm not so concerned about the cold as I am the road conditions getting in and most importantly getting out in an emergency. Driving with snow and icy...
Phantom do you reckon it might be so cold the fire freezes?
I'm bringing every quilt I have including 2 Costco down throws and a 30 deg sleeping bag. I have 0 deg quilts but I'm going to double...
Another if not already mentioned suggestion
For me there are three rules to keeping my feet warm, dry socks, dry socks and dry socks. I know sometimes I forget in winter that my feet perspire just...
Too early to call the weather just yet but it's looking like an average temperature (30's/10's) and the possibility of some frozen precip
I've not been to a hang yet with snow. I've had some a few...
I'm assuming the usual conditions apply
Water is shut off and no camp restrooms are open
All activities for group events are around the pavillion
I have to miss the fall hang because it's always on my mothers birthday
Not going to miss this one
I'm so grateful I live 30 minutes from Smithfield.
All the hog products I want are within easy reach, not to mention I'm 10 minutes from the Redneck Barbeque Lab.

Generally you should isolate for approximately 10 days after symptoms. But always follow your health care providers instructions. Take care, if you can't make it you can't make it.
The only way to truly overcome temptation is to give in to it
Only three weeks away
I put up two 6x6 hammock post in my yard recently so I could practice for the fall hang this year
I've been there when it was Warm Sunshine, Liquid Sunshine and Frozen...
He will be missed by many myself included
I've been waiting on this one, but again I can't make it this year.
My mother's 95th B'Day is the 23rd. It's getting more critical I try and make all her special days while I can.
I'm having back surgery on July 6. I've been wanting to go on a short hike to test out the results. If all goes well I should be rip roaring and ready to go for this one.
A fried peanut butter and banana sandwich would make Elvis's slap his grandma
I'll be there Thursday about 1-2 pm
20 days and a wake up
I'll contribute something normal to the A, L and S Sat
On my way hope to get there later afternoon, save me a couple of trees
Won't be the first time I've been in the rain at Grayson. I just wish it was going to be cold enough to see a little white precipitation.

I member back when Johnny's dog got runned over
Slow Hike I hope you can get some rest and feel better
Count me in
I'm planning on it. Unless the weather goes bad. I've got the gear and the inclination but no 4X4
I'm waiting also I missed it last year
I plan to be at Yates early afternoon tomorrow. I'll be glad to help.
I will definitely be at Yates
I thought I was going to make this one. My mother's 94th birthday is Friday and I can't in good conscience miss it.
Count me in
No problems with trees at Yates that's a fact
I'm bailing out on this one. We are expecting a big winter event with snow and freezing rain in the triangle Thursday/Friday and in to Saturday. A 4.5 hour drive could turn in to 8 just getting...
If'n no gigs that weekend I'll be there.
Working weekends has it's disadvantages but the woods are not as crowded during the week.
I have a 0° ClimaShield Apex UQ and a 0° Down UQ. If necessary I can stack them. I have a TQ that's 10° Climashield Apex.
I am on two blood thinners and I don't know how my arthritis is going to...
I can be bribed to make Cowboy Coffee on my 25 yr old MSR Dragon Fly. I still have my 6 Qt coffee pot. It does tend to noise pollute though, sounds like a 727 on the runway ready for take off.
I...
I'm doing my best to be there this year. If I come I will be there Thur-Sun.
I have two 0° UQ I would be happy to loan one. I don't have an extra TQ though.
Maybe!
I'm off all month no tour dates. I am hoping to get there this year. I've missed too many hangs in the last year.
I will not be able to make it after all. I was just hired for a new band and I have rehearsals starting this week.
I have to supplement retirement anyway I can.
Note sure yet if I'm coming Thur or late on Fri. If it works out I'm there early I'll bring a ladder.
I'm no longer touring with the band. I couldn't keep up with the road dog shenanigans and after hours.
So put me down as being happy to get back to the piney woods.
I hope I haven't forgotten...
Yates it is..... So far no shows booked for that weekend.
