hangover 2024 was one for the record books. The people shown in this photo are only a fraction of the actual attendees. You will see in the following photographs. The above is courtesy of Richard Hatten. Thank you
the clouds were splashing up against the mountain.
just look at the stars blazing out on the rock.
on Friday I hiked in with John Chambers and Christian Taylor. We decided to come in via Wolf Laurel for various reasons not the least of which was to get water at naked ground. I knew it would be dry at The hangover. And as if on cue the rain started as soon as we took off from Knoxville. We made a wet hike into the camp.
there’s obviously a long story behind this one. It is after all the political season.
our entire trip was almost derailed because of this idiot on the dragon. I hope he got a huge fine for that.
Dempsey belts the blues, or something.
laundry was done..
Rachel came up with Andrew. Which gave us a total of three Andrews in camp. We had 21 people in total over the course of the weekend. This almost tied the all-time record of 22.
Rob Bush showed up to put on a clinic and do some show cooking. AJ and I had run into him a couple of weeks earlier over in citico. We’re hiking part of the Jeffrey Hell trail. This year we really missed the presence of our good friend TP who is suffering some medical issues. We wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery. It just isn’t the same without a TP drive by.
Richard and Linda graced us with their presence.
Mark Jones even comes down from Maine. Along with ballerina Britches, aka Nick.
Saturday was glorious but saw the departure of half of our group. They were replaced by concave AKA Evan houser. Richard and Linda, and Rob Bush.
We made the sun rises. And sunsets. Each eclipsed the other. Comrade chambers is gaga.
