    "I am Flash Grundelore and I fully support this new and improved hang."

    Seriously... TheTroll, Mudsocks, and I "croozt" the site this morning and it offers far more great hanging sites that I could have ever offered at my place.
    It is much closer that some of the hiking attractions in the area [attroll's place is only about 15 miles from my own], it's sited up on top of a hill where it will catch the breeze and discourage any insects, and the walk-up is really minimal.
    This has the potential to be a seriously cool hang. All it needs is you.

    If you have already marked your calendars with the potential for my "Burning Man"[discontinued] weekend, just trade it over to this one, and toss your name on the list in the first post.

    Thanks to ATtroll for coming up with a MUCH better site....

    Thanks Ted, Rick and everyone involved.

    I'm signed up and looking forward to going down Maine for this hang.

    It should be a blast. Whoever did the artwork on the Google Sat Map..... Great job. A great visual.

    See you all soon.

    Awesome. Are you going to bring your dutch oven and show us some more recipes?
    Maybe you could give a class on dutch oven cooking.

    May is prime motorcycle riding season, although if someone were to bring a dutch oven I most certainly can help out.
