Mark your calendars for the weekend BEFORE Saint Patrick's Day!
This year we will be doing a repeat of our Saturday Night Irish Feast potluck, a raffle for Homes For Our Vets, classes and demonstrations, a group hike, and lots more!
We have reserved all three group sites for Thursday through Sunday thanks to the generosity of a few members of our SoCal Hanger Family. I'd like to get them paid back as soon as possible so if you are planning on attending please pay for your admission when you can. Payment details are below.
Six years? Really? Holy Crap!. When we started there hadn’t been much in the line of group hangs in Southern California so about 12 of us met up at a first-come/first-served campground with very little idea as to how things would go. Since then we have moved to our own reserved group camp sites, had some great potlucks, planned activities, got a raffle going, and met a lot of great people. We had around 50 attendees last year!
Because of the SoCal Hangers Facebook Group, there may be less activity on the thread than in previous years. I would encourage everybody on both to make sure to remember that HF is our original home and we should make sure to post updates here. The great news about the Facebook Group is that I’ve been able to pull lots of hangers that are not part of the HF community. We have 140+ members and I’d guess a third of them are not on HF. So we should be pulling some great numbers again.
With that in mind, I'd encourage people to bring hammock stands if they have them just in case!
Falcon Group campground is off the Ortega Highway in the mountains just west of Lake Elsinore. The campground is removed from the city, and is close enough to civilization in case we need supplies. There is water (non-potable) and vault toilets present.
On the off chance we run out of parking spaces we can park just outside of the entrance with a wilderness pass available at the small store just before you turn off of The Ortega Highway (74). I’ll grab a few extra Wilderness Passes for any vehicles that need to be kept at the entrance. If we run out of trees we can use the adjacent Blue Jay Campground for overflow but I think if we’re all willing to make it work and spread out we will be fine. Trees at the group site are first-come, first-served.
CONFIRMATION AND COSTS
Please confirm if you are going below. As we get closer I will be posting updated lists of attendees.
Please send your fees via PayPal to:
paypal.me/WillieCash
Make sure to include your name and you HammockForums User Name if you have one. We covered the site up front so any help in this regard is appreciated. If you don’t pay in advance, please remember to bring cash with you! Either way, confirm below.
Cost is $30 per adult ($15 per 17 and under)
This cost is the same whether you stay one night or three. Think of it as a “Cost of Admission”
Any overage will go towards reserving the site for next year so we don’t have to go so deep out of pocket for it.
As we get closer to the event I will post more information (directions, what to bring, etc...)
Let's get them sheets up in the trees!
