    Hammocking in France

    So my wife and have been home for a couple of weeks now and I am finally sorting through the some 2000 pictures we have of our 10 year belated trip to France.

    We lived out of out backpacks and road the trains all over the country, and when I mean all over I mean all over. We started and ended in Paris...but went in a big circle around the whole country. I will spar you all the tons of pics, and might put together some thematic photo album to share...but I figure I had to keep it Hammock related or at least outdoorsy....right.

    Just to give a quick run down, it went sort of like this Paris, Versailles, Chamonix, Arles, Avignon, Marseille, Acs de Provence, Carcassonne, Amboise, Montmarte (Mulan Rouge) We stayed 2-5 days at each place depending.
    My favorite places were Paris and Chamonix.

    Of course I did not take a hammock but was looking for something to work as one, just so I could post it here.

    So here goes...they were these sculptures at Versailles that I thought would make a great hammock pic. So I forced my wife to take a pic of me.



    Does this count as "extreme hammocking?" Maybe I'll enter it into the contest

    Heading up to Aguille Du Midi...which is a way point for Mt. Blanc...just google Chamonix or Mt. Blanc and I am sure you can see even better pics then what I took..but are a a few, just for the gist of it.











    Here is what we did a lot of


    and











    So there it is a super short TR. Basically I just wanted to post the hammock picture I did find an urban ground dweller....But I can't post the pic...maybe I am over my limit on pics for a post...Guess I'll make a part two

    I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
