Tell me more about this hammock hang!

The invite is on BWCA and has been attended by about 30 campers. About half are in hammocks. It is at a private 60 acer park. No fee is charged but there is a jar on the table to help fray the cost of having the event. There are families that come and there is a camp fire with singing in the evening. Later in the evening there will be the consumption of adult beverages. Usually a shuttle is arranged to take water craft upstream and then a couple hour paddle back to the camp ground. About half of the campers go for the paddle. Bob also had a winter hang one year. There was about a foot of snow one year and I got a chance to see if I could stay warm in my hammock.
Would like to see you there.

I just created a profile on the BWCA site. I'll check it out. This sounds right up my alley. Thank you!

The invite on BWCA was not as detailed. I was interested in the paddle now it looks like it could be a weekend! Would be great to meet other paddlers and hangers in the group. Get some good tips as well. Also saw there is a "food" element to the get together. I have a big smoker that loves the be filled with tasty treats!
Thank for all the info you should see me there!
