Keep the fire ring glowing a nice cherry red. Winds weren't as bad as predicted really nice thunderstorm. Going to take a day or two to fully dry the gear out.

We had an Awesome Time! Karla with a K, could you send me the raffle footage. Ryan if you could give me a bit of footage of your double as well. I plan on having the video done this coming weekend assuming I don't run into any major setbacks. I will post a link when I am done

Again Awesome time and awesome people.

Gear is dry, finally. It was to a point Saturday night where the rain was just comical. We were standing in flowing water around the fire ring, putting logs on just to keep the rain from killing it. Surprisingly, I was able to relight the fire Sunday morning off coals despite the 4" of rain. Superfly kept me dry all weekend, just dumb luck I rigged with the porch just right for the wind direction, and even my tenting companion stayed dry.

Good time were had, memories made.

Seam sealed my pop up tent.

I had an extra gallon or two of water in the van.

Sat in my new Dream Hammock (raffle win!!) today for an hour. Thanks to Randy and Deanna and the rest of Team Smurf, the hammock is thing of beauty!

Set up the TATO hammock stand to dry my gear. It is a thing of beauty! It also appears that the model is different from their model posted on dutch's site and the youtube videos (though their website has updated pictures). All of my pieces are black anodized or powder coated vs brushed metal for the tripod legs and cross beam. I'll make a youtube review now that the weather is back to playing nice.

Still Working on the video everybody. Hope to have it done early this coming week.

Did you get both of the emails I sent?

I realized I shot video vertically instead of horizontally. Guess Facebook live trained me too well for vertical video!
