VA, 7th Grayson Falls Festival, Sept 28-30

[L.D. Cakes]

Okay. I'll be there on Friday afternoon unless something else falls out of the sky on my head. I have to detour up thru central TN to collect all my junk from the other place (also known as my dog house).
Tomorrow morning I will be collecting a thru-hiker in Atlanta and delivering to Springer Mtn for his Flip-Flop southern start before I can get to TN. A long day driving around the mountains and I-slab.

OH THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE GETTING TO COME! Drive safe Porter and we'll see you Friday.

I saw somebody asking about bringing a couple of extra tables, I've got a pair of small (2 foot square?) folding tables that I know I can bring, as well as a 6 ft folding table that may or may not fit in the car...will have to experiment and see what all I can fit in there. I'll also have a very large (~32 oz) coffeepot and a single-burner stove with me, if any of the early-birds wants to use that in the mornings...

I'll be there tomorrow eve sometime. I don't have gear for cooking things up but will bring a few lbs of bacon if I can cook it up with someone's getup. Coffee is priority #1 in the a.m. so I'll be startin a big pot every morning. See y'all when I see ya!

Hi there,
I’ve been away for a while but getting back into hiking and what not. Is it too late to join this outing?

Load up and drive on. Two trees will be somewhere in the neighborhood.

I think the 15 x 20 would be perfect over the fire pit. Or if you have plenty of room and want to bring both we can take a look at which might be better.
We'll put it nice and high.

I've got a lot to do today! Been lollygagging ;~)
But I've got all day.

Absolutly.
We'll have quite a few that you can see and try out.
At 3pm on Saturday there might not be many of our group at the group camp site.
Most will be either at the Fall festival, helping with the "Hammock Camping Demo", walking around the festival or checking out the wild pony auction (I think that starts at 2 or 3pm).
And some may be out on a day hike.
But at that time of day it wont be long until some are going back to the group site to start cooking for the Sat eve group meal. And we plan to all head back about 5pm.
You would probably enjoy the festival for a while.

I have a method of hanging the tarp that puts no stress on the tarp but hangs it high. Think about a hammock tarp with two internal ridge line in two axis. Tie out the corners and...badda boom! I use a throw line to get up in the trees. That's the hard part for me is to accurately throw the weight. I wish I had a video of me and Pappy trying to throw the weight over a branch at John Rock. Total Charlie Foxtrot! https://photos.app.goo.gl/d2zihvUqhhJfM7MP9

It'll be so good to see you again Mike! Have you heard from Home Run? We've been trying to reach him to see if him & his girlfriend are still coming.

Yeah it's been a couple since I've been up. Sure haven't heard from Craig for a bit. I'll try to text him. Not sure if the number I have is still valid. I hope he does. I'll miss his beans, well him too.
