I was hanging in the carport last night and it was almost chilly enough to make one want a covering of some sort. Not quite though. Islander--how was the gazebo hang?

Ottybuddy--I cant seem to email reply to you--but here is what I was saying...

Go ahead and tap Islander or Damfino and let them know you want to go scouting. I may have to be away for work that...

Ok gang--are we agreed on Juniper for Jan? If we are I will start a new thread and make a PDF posted so that there can be some concrete info. This is a triumph!

There is a youtube about a guy's Myakka hike. Might help set the mood. He had some great shots. I think he just did an overnight but he looked like he carried about 50 pounds of gear. Nevertheless,...

45 degrees ??? I feel a chill at anything under 70! We did have some cold nights last year. I ride my bike home from work late at night sometimes and i had a ton of wind gear and gloves and toques...

Who has a Kelly Kettle? I have been stove obsessed over here for a few months and my driveway is full of all kinds of burned cans and piles of one inch long twigs. I really want to see a kelly kettle...

Thanks to Damfino for this great summary! I lean towards Juniper Springs. Seems to meet all the needs and "free" is such a nice word. Car campers are used to paying a small fee, but many visitors...

We seem to be focusing in on January sometime. I have an email into the University park manager and I will see soon if that is even an option. Kind of hope it is--there are trails nearby even if the...

That sounds like a great plan--something for everyone. Given that this is Florida it is nice to keep things open for folks who just want a winter break but are not up for milage. We need to get the...

I am laying in my smaller hammock right now typing on my iPhone. I am in the university owned woods in one of the primitive campgrounds. I can hear cars, but I also hear birds and bugs. Less than a...

That hum you hear is the sound of plans forming. It sounds like there is wide consensus for sometime in January. That makes plenty of sense for so many reasons. Also we seem to be focusing in on the...

First off--let me say how great this is and thanks so much everyone for making this idea your own. We have a winner of a plan emerging. I agree that we want as many northerners to come down as can...

There it is gang! Our winters are warm even though our wildlife can kill you. No, I mean it, all of our wildlife can kill you--even our squirrels hunt in packs like piranhas! But even so--in a few...
