5th Annual Lighthouse and Lobster Hang

[tollermama]

Hi All,

Unfortunately my phone is refusing to download my photos from my camera onto my computer and I am rather techno impaired anyway so sorry no pics yet. However, I would like to say it was a wonderful time as usual, and I was super glad to see new and old friends. So wonderful to have folks from far away and newbies as well join us and it was wonderful to meet you all. NJHeart2heart, Crystal, Jess hope to see you guys soon at a hang. For the Florida folks, I hope I make it down there some time for a hang.

Thanks to Justin for organizing along with Tom such a great place.

Thanks to Futhark for feeding me breakfast (such a MOM!). Also for announcing my girl scout's need for hammock gear esp hammocks. I want to thank the folks at Cedar Ridge Outdoors and Jacks R Better for their wonderful generosity in donations of hammocks and gear. WBJohn for donating his Costco under quilt to the girls and for Justin who donated one of his own hammocks to the girls. Thanks also to Dream Hammocks for the donation of the Sparrow to the raffle. I was the lucky duck who won it and my girls will be thrilled to sleep in it especially with the groovy lobster motif in it. Thanks to whomever donated the titanium wood stove and the Byer Hammock also my girls needed it.

Now, I will have my girls start making tarps and under quilts and we will be all set for the Fall NEHHA hang!

Jerry and Chaaaz, you were missed and I sincerely hope you are both on the mend and that we will see you soon.

The hang was really great. It got nice and cool during the nights, and the day was perfect.
Happy to see everyone again, and meet new faces.
Thanks to all the vendors who donated, I've made my new hammock chair into a curtain for my van, happy to be able to view it all the time. Can also take it into hikes!

It was great having Dan and Dave from Jacks, Warren and Richard from Cedar Ridge, Eric from Ridgeline Media system, Alex and Crystal from Dutchware on site.

Thanks to Ted for the assist on the raffle!

And thanks to my alarm clock for posing for a photo right before we left. I’ll post more photos once I go through them all.

Hi everyone!
This hang was so much fun! A fantastic "last hurrah!" before my daughter and I settled into the routine of school.

Stacey - of course I'm a MOM! lol I'm also a former caterer! Feeding people is what I do! ❤️ You are always welcome around our table!
How are you doing for gear for your girls? I'd be happy to help try and find more for you. As we saw this weekend - hangers are a generous group!

Eric, Dan, Dave - still sorry I yelled at you Friday night! I promise I'm not usually that grumpy! Especially with more sleep!

Also - whoever was responsible for the blueberry cobbler Saturday night (I don't remember, I was under the influence of something called a "Henny Penny" and nick-named "shut up juice" by HK lol) THANK YOU it was definitely delicious!

All in all I will definitely be missing this hang for the next two years. I'm hoping we can make it to another hang instead, though!

Cheers!

Hahahahahaha..."shut up juice"! Those Henny Pennys were good!!! We will miss you guys, Jess! Let us know if you want to do a hang out your way. If it's a long weekend, Mike and I can definitely do something out near Lake George. I would also be up for something in the Finger Lakes region since I went to school out there.

Thanks to whoever donated the Old Hickory knife. It's definitely an upgrade from my Morakniv (which I also love, but the OH has a bigger blade and it's carbon steel).

Added HuppyBars to the original post.

Who won them, and how were they? (Sorry to say I'm hooked on PB Clif bars even though they're like candy.)

I also will get around to photos once I have recovered from the fun. For now +1 echos to everything LJane and Hk2001 have said. We have once again raised the bar on how great a hang we can have. Wonderful people, having a wonderful time... regardless of what we actually get around to doing!

And if anyone who tried the HuppyBar trail bars wants to pick some up from the Huppybar.com site, Lyndsay[Huppy] Hupp was kind enough to give me the code FLASHBOGO for "buy one/get one"... good on any purchase.
Hint: Huppy sometimes does free shipping for a month or so, and this can bring down the costs even more... mebbe get on her mailing list and keep your eyes out.

JimJ won the Huppy Bars. Also the New Hampshire Bars, which I tasted and was delicious!
