    It's a hidden gem of a place. I sorta kinda took on the unofficial duty of "hosting" the Iowa hang 5 yrs ago. Always a great group of hangers. We even let some tenters join in (as long as they chop the wood)

    If you have been yearning for a backpacking trip, you're in luck! A group of us will be going to Yellow River Forest(Harpers Ferry, IA) Nov 1-2. It's a casual thing. Everyone brings their own gear and food. Hang out/hike as much or little as they want. This trip is an annual event that brings backpackers from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Previous backpacking experience is not required. Got a Hammock/tent/camping basic gear? That's really all you need besides a can-do spirit and an eagerness to meet new people and ogle their cool gear. Got questions? Don't be afraid to ask.
