Members of the HCARA went to Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area (park) and setup some QRP stations at their only 2 picnic table shelter.  The area is over 34,000 acres, but had a small park area.  The area is mostly used for hunting.

Arrived at 8:30AM, no one was there including the park ranger (hunting season is closed so no ranger, hunters hunt bears and boars and turkeys), but the area for our event is small, 300 x 200 ft, one shelter with 2 picnic tables. It did have a 60ft pine tree with branches at the top.  Wondered if we could tie a rope over it, but Doug, K8QY, did it! Took about 5 tries.  He pulled up his 65 ft End Fed.  I put up my 20ft flag pole and 20m end fed wire.
