The trail connects to a loop and is just under 8 miles for the full hike. I thought the hikers might really enjoy that.

This answers all my questions. Seems everything I need is there: toilet, shower, hiking, kayak launch.

Hooray! Hotlips and Kingsford are making a return! Can't wait to see you guys. You're timing is impeccable! Looking forward to it!

Karebear and I are confirmed now to make it back. With the my new job it was questionable, but the boss was super cool about me taking the time off.

Wish my company was super cool, I had to bow out of the Texas Fall Hang. I WON'T miss Hangcon though....

Lilricky, just so you know... the first time you miss a HangCon, we're gonna have a vote for who takes it over. Don't worry though... I'm sure you'll do well.

I figured your wife would be pleased. You'll be home for your anniversary this year!

Like I'm going to let that happen!

Need to catch up on all the pages! Probably will show up again if work lets me! Waiting for Vacation picks to come around.

I might make a suggestion for all that are able to do so...if you have a stand and have the ability to bring a stand with you I would suggest doing so. For a couple of reasons, first being the ease of setup. You can pretty much set camp anywhere that is available. Second being, with this event becoming bigger and bigger every year the amount of free trees gets smaller and smaller (especially ones close to the action). Especially if you plan on coming in later during the event, which I discovered my first year. With this new site, not sure on the amount of trees but the all the pictures online show a lot of open field. It might also be a general sense of kindness to keep trees super close to the main camp open for folks with young kids and those with mobility limitations.

Happy Hanging Folks! Only 3 months away!
