Bump again. Any other people out there interested in this? It was amazing last year!
It looks like you guys had fun... I'm bummed I couldn't attend this year. Hopefully I'll see you guys there next year.
In the meantime, be sure to check out Hulk's Shi-Shi Beach post for an...
I attended this last year (6th pic, orange shirt), and it was amazingly beautiful. We had a very small turnout though. It was Easter weekend that year, but not this year.
I strongly recommend...
Sorry Bat and I won't be able to join you guys this time around. We'll plan better next year. Hope to see some good pics/vids from this year
However, be sure you all talk to Hulk about the April...
Bat and I are still planning on being there. We'll be driving in from Bellingham Friday afternoon.
Look forward to seeing everyone again.
I plan on being there again too. Fortunately, I have something new to keep my feet warm this time!
Hello Purpleorchid from Bellingham, WA.
Hope everything works out well for you on Sunday. If you have any questions, this is a great place to ask. Also, if you want to check out other's stuff,...
Hello Kayaker, from another Washingtonian.
I don't have an HH, so can't help ya much on that one.
Where abouts WA are ya? There are plenty of us around, and we are all usually happy to meet...
Welcome from a neighbor just to the south of ya! glad to see more hammockers in my neck of the woods.
A buddy of mine and I are planning on heading down to Klamath Falls (OR), next week, and figured we'd spend a night or 2 in the Redwoods in North California.
We were thinking of someplace on 101,...
Hello All,
A buddy and I went out to Lopez Island this week and spent a day, traveling around. It's a great place in the San Juan Islands (WA state) if you are into photography. There are plenty...
So, apparently Baker is a bad idea this year. There is just too much snow and apparently it isn't going anywhere. Artist point (a popular spot for hiking and camping) is still buried by 50 feet of...
I will start poking around, but I'm not too sure. I personally haven't done too much around the baker area (which now that I think about it, I'm not sure why...).
I'm teaching summer school for...
Alright everyone, let's get this thing going again. Late July, Early August is coming up soon. Let's get organized.
I'm fresh off the Oregon Hang, and it was great.
Throw out your random...
He did, we traded a bit. :)
Cool, Thanks for letting us know Jofish.
Seems like a good time to use that giftcard I got at the Oregon Hang!
Peace be with you, friend I never met.
My thoughts and prayers are for you and your loved ones.

Hello from a fellow Washingtonian. There are a few of us around, and I believe we are planning a gathering in August if you are interested.
If you need or want to check out others' gear, it's a...
One last quote and showing of directions, just in case anyone else needed to find them again, like me.
What are the parking conditions? do I need to get a pass or anything?
I am really looking forward to this weekend. I'm cooking up some spaghetti and Beef Stew to dehydrate (Bablefish5 style), so I might have a little extra to share.
I am also going to try to stop...
Bat is coming. Got confirmation from him earlier this week.
Why not try to keep this thread alive. Here's a new one from Break.com
http://media1.break.com/dnet/media/2011/5/18/0082a023-ad84-4939-a426-8981c8070fa9_thumb.jpeg
Would you rather be on the...
Just got confirmation.
Bat will be back at the end of the month, and will be coming to the gathering. So, he and I will arrive on Saturday morning (hopefully)
My brother, his wife, and my nephews are there. I'll hang out with them for a couple days before and after the gathering.
Thanks for the offer though Olzeke. It's much appreciated.
I'll be heading to Portland on the 2nd or 3rd, and then heading to Drift Creek on Saturday morning/early afternoon. I'll probably head back to Portland on Monday morning. Let me know if anyone...
I bought a GT UL when I saw it on sale for $20, just to play with it. When it showed up, I played with it a little, adding whoopie slings and so forth. I noticed that the weight limit on it was...
If you ever make it over to this side, I'd be happy to share what little I know. There is an Oregon hang coming up. Should be about a dozen people with different hammocks there., But if that's too...
Hello from across the bay!
I have a 1.7 WBBB, and you will love it when it gets to ya.
This is a great place to ask questions or just to browse for some good info.
~Mindwalk
I might be bringing one, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. I'll let you know when we know for sure.
Welcome from the north part of wet Washington.
Great place for info. Also, check out a couple of gatherings we got coming up if you want to check out gear and so forth. We are in the stages of...
Welcome Mike from another Washingtonian,
I don't know the exact dates of your trip, but if you are free on June 4th-6th, we are having a gathering in Oregon, not too far from where you are; at...
I will be there! Look forward to it.
I can’t think of a better 100th post than to share a couple pics and my experience at Shi Shi Beach from this last weekend.
I met up with Hulk for the beach clean-up at Shi Shi Beach on Saturday. ...
If someone wants to throw together a map for those of us who don't know exactly where it is we will be going and parking at, that would be great too. Thanks.
Well, from the postings I've seen on this thread, it's just going to be you two, Hulk and I. If anyone else is planning on showing up, I look forward to it.
I'm going to be driving from Kingston...
I was just texting with Bat a few minutes ago. He is currently at the Hot Springs in NC, but is going to be heading North this afternoon.
Have fun Bat!
Bat has officially reached the 250 mile mark today. He reached Max Patch Bald today. He says he is having the time of his life right now; in particular, stated that "this night is epic!". So I'm...
Awesome, thanks for the map hulk. I'd like to be there on Friday, but I gotta work till 4, so I should make it to Kingston somewhat early, but not early enough to get all the way to Neah Bay. ...
Nice work Mugs. Sounds like a great night of information. We could always use some more hangers her in WA.
Ok, so one week away, let's get it all organized/figured out/clarified.
Is this only for the night of the 23rd (Saturday) correct? Was any one planning on doing it more than one night?
How...
I'm with Hulk on this one. I'd like to do it, but I would not be quick about it. Dropping a couple pounds would be good for me, but I don't think my hiking speed is going to improve to that level...
Stevens to Snoqualmie might be a fun side adventure for a smaller group who wants to do a longer hike after the summer hang. I'd probably be interested in something like that in August myself.
No, it's just that summer is still a few months away and there are several other gatherings approaching before this one. The WA Coast Hang and Spring Cleanup is 2 weeks away (check the thread for...
Bump/Reminder
We're two weeks away everyone. Shall we get an updated body count, and/or things that we'll need/want.
Also, how about some road markers for those of us who are going to be out...
Sounds good, I'm planning on being there. I'll probably head to Portland a day or two in advance and stay at my brother's place, and then leave for there on the 4th.
I don't know my definite...
Got my 3S Burrow earlier this week too. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, except in my recliner. Love it, but I really need to find a spot to hang my hammock in or around my house :(
This thread kind of took a few detours. Are we still talking about the Opal Creek Wilderness hang on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of June? If so, I'm in. If plans have changed, LET ME KNOW!
Got a text from Bat a little bit ago. He just arrived at Fontana Dam.
I'm sure those familiar with the AT know where that is. As for the rest of us, I found a couple pics online and figured I'd...
Somebody likes RedvsBlue :) (other than me)
Welcome Tex!
This is a great place to ask anything. I check this site every day and always seem to learn something new ...or find something new...
Bat sent me a text about an hour ago, to let everyone know that his ankle is doing good and that he made it to Blue Mountain Shelter today.
He made it 18.7 miles today.
Go Bat!
