    Definitely proud to call y’all the best group of peeps to “Hang” with.

    And once again, Slowhike, Hickery and Rockdog a very fine and well organized event. Thank you for all y’all do to give us wayward hangers such a great time.

    Thank you Gunney&Gypsy and Rockdawg, the food was scrumptious. Slowhike and Hickery your real brewed coffee and cocao chocolate coffee mixed with Scramblers chocolate coconut creamer, was intoxicating.
    Young and old alike, it was a good hang, and the weather—perfect
    Hard to believe, four days—no rain

    Blue skies with some clouds and cool winds made for great weekend

    Foodies delight...lots of great eats

    Glad I was able to put my many years of experience to use supervising the cleaning out of the fire ring ( ie I sat in my chair and watched ). I did stay at the camp site all day Saturday and can report that no one stole the sacred fire.

    We even had some tents in use.
    I did see a semi naked white bear in boxer shorts walking thru the camp site Friday night.
    Got lots of pictures to go through and I will post them if I can although the past few times I have tried to posts pictures, my computer and the forum would not talk to each other

    It was a perfect weekend!
    I appreciate the thanks, as do Hickery and Rockdawg but you guys make it great!

    A special thanks to all those that prepared such good food! I would start naming names but I might leave someone out.
    New friends and old. Good times.

    I'm amazed that we went all weekend with out a drop of rain.
    Thankful.

    I'll post a picture or two later.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    I saw that bear too. Thanks Hickery, Slowhike and Rockdawg for the excellent hang as usual. Thanks to all who helped make this happen. We are already planning for the winter gathering.
