    Wink Happy Wander

    Hi folks, my name is Sally. I live in British Columbia part of the year and Portland, Oregon the other part of the year. I have, due in part, to an angel on my shoulder reached "Retirement Age". Too poor to retire so I guess I will keep on doing what I do.
    I purchased an double ENO then a Hennessy Expidition. I use a sheepskin under me with felted Pendleton blanket. Not light weight, but it works very well for me. My ulta-light days are behind me now.
    I have been reading your forum for a few months and I love it!

    Welcome, Sally. "Retirement age" is nicer when you combine it with a hammock, eh? Sounds like you have a nice companion to hang with, too. My daughter is in Portland. She asked us to come visit for the berry season. We will be there late June, early July. Any chance you will be in Portland then? Maybe we could meet for tea or coffee.

    Welcome. That sheepskin is a good idea, it wouldn't compress. Like you said, not light but it works.
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
