I want to thank everyone who came out. Weasel and I had a BLAST!!! It was great sharing "our back yard" with all of you guys (and gals!).
It was great to see Walking Bear and Dudorino again...and really cool to meet Skygazer and Otter (his wife), and the whole passel of local folks who came out!
That first night was a definite test of my cold weather setup...it got down to around 22F, and the winds were KICKIN as it got closer to dawn. It was kinda funny that the Boy Scout troop that came out were so surprised to see us out there, and cool that they came around later the second day to check out the hammocks. Dudorino gave an awesome walk thru of the Clark and basic concepts of hanging to them. We might have made a few converts!
The hike around the trail was really nice. I'd never been out there this time of year, and it was interesting to see the changes and how scenic the path was even in winter. Hammockforums was well represented, and we left a pleasent note and plug for HF.net in a geocache that we stumbled on as well.
The teepee that had been left out there for others to enjoy was beautiful, and I thought it was really cool that while there were a lot of people that walked in/out of it, they left it pristine and respected the owner's wishes.
Last night sitting around the fire was a blast...from watching the fireworks show that the sparks put on, to the late night discusion with the die-hard few (FLAWLESS VICTORY!), to finally heading over to the hammock and crashing out to be the last person to wake up in the morning...it was a great trip.
Thanks again to everyone who came out...I think everyone had a great time!
BTW...the golf ball did indeed melt, and not explode. You were right, Skygazer!
