Greatest hang out ever!

I was living in Hattiesburg MS. and discovered the tao of ultralight. I built my first hammock out of the walmart ripstop ( I don't think you can get it any more). I had never seen anyone using a hammock but I liked the idea. Hattiesburg has wild boars and snakes and I like to camp so it made sense to me heh heh.
I found a nice spot in a state park where noone else could camp. Gnarly!! There I was swinging in serenity when... a camo truck with three guys the size of gorillas pull up. (no road) they get out spitting chaw and start wandering around my camp. 'oh sh.t'.
What could I do but say, 'HI!'.

Turns out the were geo cachers and the loot was right beneath my hammock. Made some new friends after I caught my breath
