HangCon 2020 is in the books.
Gumbo and I thank everyone for a great ride!!!

Long story short..... Doe Lake's reservation system gave away our reservation to a couple of weddings. We found out by accident during a casual conversation with the CG hosts. On New Year's day.
It's a holiday weekend, so the nuts will be on the road.
We've seen extra local and highway LEOs yesterday and today. So they're out there looking for trouble. Stay out of trouble and arrive safe...
Depends on what you mean by "nearby." Are there gators in Florida? ...running loose in the swamps? ...are they gonna get me? ... can I get a selfie with one? Yes. Yes. No. No.
Here's what we're finding at Sertoma.
1. These folks are awesome! They are thrilled to have us back. Doe Lake's loss is Sertoma's gain!
2. Red (the host) is ready with firewood. Call him when you...
Nope. You can drive to your site. But like always, we ask that once you're set up, go park in the designated parking area. (That way that campground doesn't look like a parking lot.)
Thank you Loki for the offer to help. :thumbup:
Since Sertoma is a private campground, you can actually come in anytime you want.... you just have to pay them. I think it's $15/day in primitive...
Yeah.... we knew there would be some of that. And we knew it would hurt. Thanks for sucking it up and persevering! We're looking forward to seeing you and everyone on Friday!!
See me on Saturday...
Thank you for getting the word out!
We are going back to Sertoma!
HangCon will NOT be at Doe Lake this year.
Every year, so we can be as prepared as we can for HangCon, Gumbo and I do a scouting trip to Doe Lake. Yesterday, for...

Hey Floridahanger,
It looks...
Absolutely!! C'mon and bring your hiking friends with you!!
Hellooo Chicago! C'mon down for some balmy goodness!
If you're coming from way up north, and hoping for some warm Florida sunshine, I've got good news.
If you're from Florida and hoping for another HangCon record cold, the news isn't as cheery.
If...
I'm lookin' at the clock and it's getting closer and closer to the cutoff for the extra special, never better, limited time only deal on raffle tickets. The stroke of midnight on 12/31, as...
Gumbo and I did the Lobster & Lighthouse Hang, and we just did our first MAHHA. I'm really starting to get in the groove for HangCon!
Wow, what a great hang! I can see why it's one of the keystone hangs. As a southern boy, I learned a new thing about New England hospitality... y'all are all right!!
I hope y'all can all make it to...
Gumbo and I are IN! It's taken years, but we're finally gonna make it!!
I was procrastinating starting this thread because I couldn't find a good way to say it or where to put it in the opening post, so I'm putting here...
Gumbo and I will not be hosting HangCon...

January 17-20, 2020
HangCon '20 will be returning to its home at big, beautiful Doe Lake in the Ocala National Forest!
...'cause he can
Lighthouses, craft beers and campfires... sounds like a trifecta to me. I'm in!
I'm going to miss this...again. Sorry. Was really looking forward to this weekend.
Y'all have a great weekend.

Great pics guys, thanks!!
Gonna try again to make it. Wanna make sure I got the right one - this is the Sherpa Hang '19, right? It's not in LWRSF, Arbuckle this year? If y'all are staying until Monday, I'm definitely good for...
Thank you again to everyone who came out to HangCon '19 and made it another resounding success.
With all the confusions this year, we had some touch and go moments. But the attendees and the folks...

Thanks y'all!

Good thought DeltaNu!!
This is exactly why we have a donation table.
It's a place to put the gear from the bottom of your gear bins. The stuff you haven't used in years, but it's still good...
Terri and I are very sorry for your loss, Ricktor.
Don't worry about us. Take care of family and family business first.
We'll get along ok. Lookin' forward to seeing you next year.
Tell us about your time at HangCon '19!!
What did you do?
Where did you go?
What did you think?
How did you like the new location?
Should we go there again or back to Doe Lake?
POST YER...
Def not too late. C'mon. See you there!
Welcome to Florida y'all!

There is no bad weather; there are only bad clothing choices.
Another important factoid that I don't think was mentioned earlier....
There is no refrigeration or freezeration at Sertoma. It's all up to coolers and bags of ice. Ice is not available on site so...

Well then, welcome home! Looking forward to meeting you at HC19!
On the subject of site fires.
Floridahanger will keep the fire by our pavillion going every night. And every day if necessary.
This will be our primary meeting and feeding site.
You are...
We can use both. But the one in the front (by the main gate) is pretty far away. The area behind our pavillion is a lot closer. And since we'll be closer it should also be more secure.
Another...

You're gonna think you're hopelessly lost in the depths of Florida farm country, but your GPS will get you here.
It's really not any harder to find in the dark. Of...
You're welcome, of course! Gumbo and I are really excited to have you guys back at HangCon!!
When you come in the gate, keep going straight to the back of the campground.

There'll be a little sign to turn in and park at the "P." Everyone comes to sign in at the pavillion, and...
Please don't park or set up in this little area.

I'm reserving this for Mrs Shaw and the PSH and their chuck wagons, and for vendors who want to have their vehicles close by so they can...
We want to call your attention first to the dark red circle in the middle.
