    Trout Camp at Green Timbers Cabin

    The friday before trout opener we set out for a three day camp on the sturgen river in the green timbers trac of the pigeon river country forest. All went well on the hike in. Then i asked being nice if any one claimed the two big pines in front of the cabin by the river, seeing there was a tentset up on the other side of the tree's and a back pack up against one of the trees.
    Their respones was you can't camp there it's not level ground Ijust smiled and said where i'm going I don't need ground! just wanted to share the with you all. The tent on the other side of my setup was the one who made the comment.04231940[1].jpg
    Another word of advice would be if any of you camp here bring two extra tree huggers. Massive TREES. Theres all so a cabin open to public first come first serve. Which is nice if it rains.04231803_01[1].jpg
    Had three dry days and two dry nights(one day i set my camal back on my hammock and the bite valve got pinched under the bag leading to a wet hammock). Though miner disconvence. Not a big deal with cabin close and a nice fire in fireplace. Fishing on the other hand was so so not many keepers. But **** it i sleep good.

    Funny cuz after i set up my hammock and tarp the tent guy had to show me the queen size air bed he luged back there. I think at that point my hat did get a little tight.

    I always like pics and stories like that . Seems like everyone had a good time.

    Gargoyle had tuff time getting my pic's on my page. I don't think its my computer i think it's my skills. but successfully got my album complete. My page is public check it out. Got captions on most every thing. Had more pics of assembly but be darn if i know how to get to them or if they still exist. Thanks for the comments and yes it was a good time learning, shopping for, designing, making, testing, using and most of all showing my hammock named "SHERMAN''.

    O Trip was fun too.
