I'd be leaning more toward the Jan 26th than the February 2. I'm looking to go down to Alleghny National Forest Feb 9-11. I'd like to invite all EGLers to come down.(PA does touch a Great Lake) One person has mentioned interest in trecking across the border. So in the words of Bob Barker - "Come on Down!" https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...bruary-9-10-11
My Winter travel is dependent on sitter availability.
Hanging in the woods, paddlin and catching trout- My kind of living...
Anyway we can nail down a date? I need to know the date ASAP so I can request the time off before the next segment of my schedule is officially posted.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
While we're at it, are we thinking of a "gearing up for backcountry" Valens hang for the first or second weekend of January?

Well, it seems like Feb 2-4 works better with more people, and I hope LuvmyBonnet can make it out.
As for the Gearing up, why don't we formalize our tradition and say that the second weekend of each year we try to start the year off right by getting together and freezing our butts off. First weekend for family, second weekend for old (cold?) friends. Valens has proven a perfect spot, being relatively close to a number of folks, excellent usage fees, but I'm not above considering other drive to locations in the future.
I noticed that Niagara mentioned after Jan 11th. If we wait until the 3rd or 4th weekends in January, we'll be butting right up on the back-country hang. If we go early on the first weekend then we'll likely have grumpy spouses and frankly, angry wives can freeze the blood worse than the coldest winter winds.
