I might be needing a ride about the same distance North, Boiling Springs is my tentative start point. I should have a parking spot in PGF (friends with a cabin), so I may not need one depending if G...Hawk and I meet up to shuttle beforehand or if we just start separately.

Just found out I'm able to make it! It's been way too long since I've seen my hammock friends. Now, I just have to find all my gear...

EDIT: Spreadsheet updated.

Just find me if you need a ride. I will be in pretty early on Friday. Also, I'm signed up to help with Saturday breakfast cleanup, so you can definitely find me there.

Looks nice! I've been considering picking up one of your Netty hammocks. The breezy I got recently is great, and bug season is coming quickly. I've been working with a separate bug net system that works well, but an integrated net is appealing.

No Pizza?!?! Yaarrrgghhhh! That's gonna be missed. Will have to console myself with bacon, scrapple and porkroll.

I'm good to sherpa\shuttle as needed. Can work the details as the date gets closer. Truck will carry 3 plus me & gear. Happy to help in any way.

doogie,

I would like to start at the trailhead together. Then we can hike our own hikes.

Would we meet at your car drop off point?

Once again JRB is proud to host the Spring MAHHA Raffle... As in recent years we are joined by several of our fellow cottage manufacturers...To date Dutch, 2QZQ, UGO, and Papa Smurf will be participating.

The prizes are contributions from the vendors... They support the raffle as a means of giving back to the community and support of the forums... They receive only your thanks and admiration... This raffle is traditionally a huge support to the community, the host park, ATC and hammockforums.net...The prizes have been valued at well over $1200 for two years now...You don't want to miss out.

We will use the same raffle deal and rules:

Deal

Your ticket purchases go first to defray hang costs...Campsite rental, pavillion rental, Saturday Breakfast and the Big "PIG OUT"...couldn't resist... This years MAHHA budget is well over $800... Remainder of the proceeds goes to Hammockforums...( Edit... To clarify... We have prepaid $350 from last years raffle and ZQ is out another $174 to the park on rental fees...Adding the pig roast $100 additional out of pocket from ZQ and a remainder current numbers estimate are $425... Name tag materials alone $75...Total $1124...Additionally, we would like to make some donation to the Pine Grove Furnace State Park for the load of fire wood, min $75....Now $1200...Planning ahead for next year to reserve the facilities plus a near by additional pavilion area for its trees and parking we will need the deposit another $650 with PFGSP to lock up the facilies for 2015 Spring MAHHA... I seriously doubt we will have any excess...)

Tickets are $10 each and we do not make change Come to play you won't get odds this good on great gear very often.

Rules
