Any one attending?
Last year I didn't get to the trailhead until well after dark, by the time I found the shelter area (seriously dense fog is my excuse) all I heard was deep snoring :)
I asked over on HF but got no response - I am guessing that there won't be an official hammock hang - for myself IIF the weather looks reasonable I might be there.

I'll remind the hangers....HOI, if you come I owe you a beer.
I'll be there with a little group from the Queen City. The last couple of years it has been too cold to stand around the fire for very long. Unless things warm up dramatically, I anticipate an early bedtime this year, too.

Sounds like a great start to the year!
wonder what thru hikers might be there for their 2011 start?
It was breezy & cool alright. Trek started from there on Jan 1, IIRC.
As far as I know, four hikers started Jan. 1 this year, with all but Trek dropping out pretty promptly.
