Yep, it was good. Small group, but sometimes that makes for a really peaceful, laid back weekend.
Ed, Karen, Youngblood, Hooch, Tback & his hiking partner, Gridge w/ his wife, grandson & dog, & myself were there.

A little hotter than I really like during the day but it cooled off just enough to pull the quilt over me before morning.

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for the great weekend that Janette and I had with you. It was so good to see old friends again and to meet Gridge and his family.
We finished our shakedown hike. It went really well. J's knee did much better than I expected and Ed and Karen suggested that we hike into the Wilson Creek area. It was a good choice as we were visited by the fabled blue fireflys of that area. I can only say that it was an incredible experience. It rained on us twice but my new SH Winter tarp kept me bone dry. The "strap to rope" tie off that Youngblood showed me has worked flawlessly and and not a drop of water made it past the webbing toward my hammock. Thanks Dave! We are taking care of a few things locally and will be flying up North for our ME-GA hike on Saturday. I will keep in touch as I am able.

Enjoy your Southbound Hike. I still say it is the only way to go. Say hello to all the biting bugs for me.

Blue fireflys? I never heard of blue fireflys. I bet that was cool.
