    Windy City Winter Hang Date Selection?

    Which weekend works for you?
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    Yeah. If it does, it does. We have others that don't like the cold that barely get enough gear to handle zero so I guess we will see

    Anymore votes? Or is it too early to tell?

    Any weekend in January with the exception of the 1st weekend should be good for me.

    At this point, I can make any weekend in January work. I appreciate you taking the lead on planning it. My guess is that you won't be able to come up with a weekend that will make everyone happy, so just make the best decision you can.

    My wife is due the last weekend in January so I would be out on that date. Plus the Windy City Winter Hang usually is the coldest I&M canal Hang. The first two weekends are always the coldest, but I know you are doing some frozen Butts. I'll talk it over with the guys. Also, maybe the ranger if he will let us drive wood in again

    Am Interested, if its not in the zero range. I did just get a 20 deg 'over stuffed' TQ, and with an extra TQ layer, I may be good. We'll have to see how things transpire.

    I have some additional quilts I can lend out as supplementary. A couple 45s, 35s, and some 45 UQ. Let me know as we get closer.
