I have the date noted on the calendar......just have to be sure I adjust my work travel schedule so I am back in time to get there.
[o]TTeR : might have to borrow one of those UQ's of yours as I spent my allowance on 2 lens' for the camera and don't have the resources to buy/make an UQ before then.
I do not wish to be disturbed - but I can't help it!
Has anyone been there before? Is it conducive to multiple hammock set ups like Valens was?

The trees behind Site 17 (our first choice) look like this:
It was more of a pleasant conversation about Hammock Camping then an “access negotiation”! We can, & will be reserving Site #17 in the lower camp area this week. Finding enough trees for everyone will not be a problem.

Ok, I am definitely planning on attending this one! I am not missing out on the final hang of the season and I have been looking to try out camping on the fringe of winter (I am going to do some backyard winter tests this year)
I will be posting my gear list later (when I finish it) so you can comment on how many newb mistakes I made for cold weather camping!
