I just wanted to get the thread started and I'll be adding more to it in a couple days when I get a little more organized. This years 5th Annual Green Timbers Big Tree Hang was a resounding success. Success is that we had snow on the ground and lots of it. In fact, so much that if you would step off the packed trails through camp, most likely you'd sink down to over your knees! We had 19 1/2 brave souls join us over the official 4 day event, but some of us got in 5-7 glorious days of hanging in the piney woods of the Pigeon River State Forest.
A couple highlights from the weekend: digging out lots of snow to get our gear set up, cutting and sledding wood for the campfire from the farthest possible point from camp (), falling down in snow and coming up looking like the pillsbury doughboy because it would stick to you, great stories around the campfire, a variety of food including tamales, venison stew, chili, bacon, sausage and peppers, dutch oven eggs with sausage and potatoes, more bacon, chicken fried rice, pierogies & kielbasa....the list goes on. The big hit of the weekend was the awesome 15 foot tall cooking tripod that Dogger built to hold everything needed to whip up a meal. He also hit another home run with his campfire oven where he created his dog treats for the crew: late night chocolate chip cookies, bisquits, and more cookies! AndrewB also knocked it out of the park with his homemade stout. And, Dan returned with his 25 cup coffee perk for the never ending camp coffee.
I just wanted to thank everyone for attending and pitching in around camp! It was great catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones. FYI, the 6th GT BTH will be February 20-23rd, 2020, at our traditional location.
Please post your photos and recollections here. Here's a few of my pictures from the weekend:
