    Site Selection

    My buddy has some land that adjoins the Upper Buffalo River Wilderness Area. He called me a couple of days ago, sez "Come on over...we're gonna build a deck."

    "Okay, where, how big, etc?"

    "On the slope by the creek. Big enough to put my tent on"

    Okay, y'all can see where this is going. School is ON. More later.

    Good luck. With enough education, you may get out of most of the physical labor.

    Well, he had sense enough to call you, so he may be open to radical notions of comfort.

    Oh man, I'd love to have some land on the edge of that area. Livin' the dream, that guy is.

    I hung my hammock on a steep, rocky slope...it did not go unnoticed.

    There were lots of questions, and a tentative, "I may have to try one." I didn't offer up my Speer, because that is a difficult intro to hammocks. Next time, I'll take something that's easy to love. Baby steps.
