EVENT DETAILS

Meals
Meals will be COVID-19 conscious, therefore we request there be NO HOMEMADE FOODS to share. ONLY STORE-BOUGHT / PRE-PACKAGED FOODS will be accepted. We may rotate mealtimes to keep groupings smaller.
Meal volunteers will serve with tongs and/or gloves.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a food contribution for dinner. Please see the sign-up sheet for suggested food items. There are other items needed, please sign up if you are able.

We reserved the PINE pavilion in the Park (see maps attached for location). It is a few minutes’ walk to that pavilion, however there is a parking lot close by if you choose to drive. See map.
- Saturday Breakfast: Pancakes, French Toast, & Sausage.
- Saturday Dinner: Pulled Pork with delicious sauces and Kosher Hot Dogs.
The cost for meals is covered with the raffle monies.

Precautions
Please bring your own hand sanitizer, mask for close quarters, and observe all PA COVID-19 recommendations. https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/dis...Travelers.aspx
Real talk tho. If you have a fever, showing COVID symptoms, or a family member is sick, please do not come to the event. We are asking you to take your temperature before heading to the gathering. The last thing we want is for anyone to get sick. We are asking for each group campsite to be cautious. We encourage attendees to wear a mask if you are planning on being in close quarters with a fellow hanger (showing your gear, sharing a ride, etc.). Also, please be respectful of other’s choices to wear a mask or not because of health conditions.

Cell Phone Coverage
The park office mentions that they have pretty good cell service for Verizon but ATT can be sketchy. However, Wi-Fi is available at the park office with password shown in window. You will find best coverage toward Rt 30 corridor.

Free Camping
All 5 of the group sites have been reserved for this event. The cost for these sites is covered with the raffle monies.

Pets
Great news! This park is “pro pet”. However, they only welcome well behaved pets. Also, whether you bring a dog, cat, bird, or ferret, please keep him/her/them on a leash.

Free Firewood
Each of these group sites have their own campfire ring. Friends of Caledonia are dropping off a load of firewood on Friday night as we will be donating to them with raffle monies. Note: The park allows gathering dead, down wood... but no chainsaws in the park.

Water
The group site has water at the group camp bathhouse. Also, cool stuff, they have a sink outside of the restrooms for dishwashing. Another fun fact: with our reservation, we have shower privileges at the Hosack Run Campground. Just a short walk down the Chambersburg Waterline Trail and you have new, beautiful shower facility available for use. Yay!!

Bathrooms
The group site has men and women's flush toilets and sinks with running water. See above for shower house location.

Parking
Our group will be the only one using the group parking lot. We should have enough room, but more parking is available at the park office. A quick walk down the Midland Trail will take you to Group Camping from there.

Pre-Hikers/Post-Hikers – New COVID regulations: they are not tracking cars for overnight parking at this time. You will get a ticket if you park in the campground overnight. Map for AT Overnight Parking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K2o...ew?usp=sharing

Alcohol
No alcoholic beverages allowed in the state park. Rangers will be patrolling the area.

Vendor Sales
As with all MAHHAs, there will be no vendor sales. MAHHA hangs are for fun, new friends, food, chillin’, etc. We, as a group, do not have a sales permit for this park and have no interest in obtaining one.

Raffle
After the meal, we will hold a raffle, which pays for all costs incurred by our event. Any extra money is donated to the park, the AT, etc., and to reserve sites for the next MAHHA. Tickets $10 each.

Clean-up After Dinner
After the meal and raffle: Please make sure you clean up your eating area and take with you, or dispose of, any food containers you brought. This will help to leave the pavilion area in the same or better condition than when we arrived.

Leaving Your Campsite
Sunday when leaving group hang area: Please look around your area before you leave to make sure everything is cleaned up, again, let us leave the group hang area in the same or better condition than when we arrived. If someone forgot something, take it with you and post on HF.

Organizers
Thanks to Dutch, Vickence, and attendees for all your contributions and volunteer work on this event each year!!! We have an excellent group!!
