    I was so bummed I missed going to this. Stupid weddings.

    haha I love the photo of Beep making mittens.

    For those people that made it there, what did you think? It looked awesome!

    The article was pretty cool thanks for the link. Mac looked like he did a great job on his demonstration. Would love to hear some personal thoughts and stories from the weekend. Hope all enjoyed looked like a great time.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    Mac and Fourdog spent the week with Mors and then gave really great Hammock presentations on Saturday. Shug and Stormcrow were there for a short while on Friday. Stormcrow returned on Saturday and helped out along with Beep and Stairguy on hammock setups. It was an ideal weekend especially for the hammock community.
