    IA - Iowa Hang - Yellow River State Forest - 7th annual

    Hey gang! Been a long season on the farm and I am excited to get back into the hammock!

    This year is what I THINK is the 7th annual Iowa Hang. A few of us have been planning it over at the Midwest Backpackers page on FB and here are the details:

    Nov 9-11

    Friday Night, Nov. 9 - Glen Wendel (43.166118, -91.259394) 7:00 p.m. or whenever you arrive.

    Saturday Night, Nov. 11 - Brown's Hollow (43.153873, -91.229473)

    ##Parking## at rangers station is .7 mile hike to Glen Wendel
    If you choose to hike to Brown's Hollow from Glen Wendel it is approx 3.0 miles. Otherwise, there is parking at the Brown's Hollow trailhead (43.152005, -91.235939)

    ##Water## There is potable water at the ranger station. There is a scummy pond at Glen Wendel if you are desperate. There is also a creek at Brown's Hollow that sometimes has water.

    ##Water## There is potable water at the ranger station.

    ##map## http://www.iowadnr.gov/Places-to-Go/...r-State-Forest

    As always, if you are the 1st to arrive we're all counting on you to cut some wood.

    Hope to see you there!

    **UPDATE** Night #2 has been moved to John Schultz

    here is the updated itinerary:

    Friday Night, Nov. 9 - Glen Wendel (43.166118, -91.259394) 4:00 p.m. or whenever you arrive.

    Saturday Night, Nov. 10 - John Shultz (43.158369, -91.249484)

    ##Parking## at rangers station is .7 mile hike to Glen Wendel
    and 1 mile to John Shultz.
    Otherwise, you can park at the fire tower (43.162255, -91.240961) and from there Glen Wendel is 1.8 miles and John Shultz is .6 miles

    Sounds like we are going to have a good size group this year.

    Sorry for the delay, I've been having computer issues.

    We generally have been holding the Iowa hang around the 1st weekend of November. We'll most likely have it then again this year, but there has been talk of having a spring meet-up there in Early May or late April. A few of our fair-weather hangers weren't too happy with the 12° weather we had in November. haha

    I'll keep this thread updated when we get some solid dates in mind for the Spring hang.
