Time for a nap - I'm exhausted from having so much fun! It was great seeing old friends and meeting new - there were so many people I didn't even get to meet everyone. Thanks everyone for coming out.

oh man oh man oh man!!!! We had such a great time!!!! Our first winter hang.... So many friendly faces.... I had a couple people help me with my new set up, I won a gift cert to hammock gear (thanks so much to stormcrow thorwren and crew!), which turns out I am really going to need to get me warmer. I was trying out my brand new HG UQ and wasnt warm enough. This will be well spent on an upgrade! Bonus from my pal Broccoli, thanks so much for passing the kenmore "thread injector" along to us. I hope I dont break that one, too. It will definitely get some use. The food, sleep, company and just everything was incredible. I loved everyones gear and Loco Libre makes some awesome looking stuff. Overall real good feels. I wanted to say bye to everyone, but we wound up having to rush out early in the morning. Thanks for such a great weekend! I hope to see yall again soon!

Nice to have met you. As I mentioned to you...you fit right in. Great people! Lots of things to learn. I love just sitting back to watch and listen to the stories. Although I've only been to 4 gatherings everyone is open and welcoming.

Wool-a-palooza...except that one surfer dude rocking his long foam pad and all.



As seen on TV - the inflatable hammock, great at the beach, parties or Winter Hangs.

Man I gotta get one of those!!!! Every time I come to one of these I end up spending more money. Now I need an anorak, wool blanket and a zebra headlamp. This trip set me back around $500!!! Awesome weekend very well organized. Great food, great people, and great weekend......did I say great food.

I thought I heard a cat purring outside my hammock (quite loudly) this morning, but when I poked my head out from under my tarp, there was nothing there. Did anyone else hear the kitty?
