I'm happy to announce our annual ANF summer group hang (a.k.a. MidHHA). Last year’s event was regrettably called off on account of that pesky pandemic, and I'm greatly looking forward to the return of my favorite annual tradition. Vaccines really are a marvelous thing.

As before, we’ll be camping a short ways off the trail leading south from the parking lot on Rt. 666 (directly across the road from the actual campground). This is essentially car camping, so those who are not of the hiking persuasion are able to join in the fun.

Between the Minister Creek hiking loop and convenient creek access for fishing, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied if you’re motivated to do more than just eat and snooze your way through the weekend.

The hang will officially begin on Friday, but several folks will likely be arriving on Thursday to stake out our area and get an early start on the festivities.

Whether you're a veteran hanger, newbie, ground dweller, or even if you just want to drop by and check out what hammock camping is all about, ALL ARE WELCOME!

I'm thinking about getting a load of firewood since I'm somewhat local. A wagon would be awesome if anyone had one and wouldn't mind bringing it.

We'll have at least one wagon for sure.

It is the 9th-11th. July 17-19 was last years. I hope jcksparow doesn't mind I updated the sheet.

Don't mind at all. Somehow thought I'd already done that!

Are these sites that you need to be a group to reserve, or can anyone do it? (ie, could I just reserve one of them and stay an extra night?)

I am thinking about coming, but if I do, I either need to stay an extra night at the end, find somewhere else to camp, between two camping trips, or make an extra drive back to Pittsburgh that I would like to avoid before heading several hundred miles in the opposite direction to camp with my Dad the following week.

Still not sure which I would do, If I am even able to add the extra days off... but I would love to know what my options are?
