KY > 2016 SPRING HOOSIER HANG, April 22, 23, 24

[Mule]

Sorry to hear about your wife's Dad, Jerry. I missed seeing you my friend. Soon I hope, Mule.

Thursday evening I came up from the South Trail head. 5 or so miles in, the clouds started to roll, and the temperature dropped pretty quick. I set up camp, and within the hour dinner was on the stove, and I was reading from my hammock. sometime around midnight, the wife called, to say her father was rushed to the ER with chest and arm pains. I packed up, hiked back to the car, and was at the hospital just as fast as my fat little legs would take me. I stayed with them til Friday afternoon, returned on Saturday, and slept in all day Sunday.
He has clogged arteries, COPD, and a spot on his liver they will be reviewing Tuesday. My father in law is a heavy smoker, strong willed, pig headed old fart that knows 4 times that or a doctor. but i love the old man......
Hope everyone had a great time, and hope to catch up to you soon.
This weekend, I am heading back to that camp to get the items I forgot...
Jetboil stove
titanium spoon
GSI cup with coffee
coffee press for my Jetboil
fire starter kit
folding hand saw
and a first aid kit.
I was about 100 yards off the trail, so i should be ok.

Thanks everyone who came out. It was a great learning experience for me, and June Bug loved being on the trail. I hope to see you guys again at the fall hang.

Harlen, I live not far from you and didn't realize it. I would like to hang and hike more if you are interested. You can pm me. We moved to Shamrock Lakes, near Hartford City, in 2003. We used to live near Lakeview Church.
