    Overdue greetings from another 'Up Nort'er

    Greetings y'all. I've been a lurker for quite some time but just wanted to say thank you to EVERYONE that has unknowingly helped me discover a new way to 'hang' in the woods. I've always been an avid outdoors enthusiast and spent many a years in my youth with one of our beautiful MN state parks out my back door. No better playground for a ten-year old, or any-year old.

    I discovered the forums last year (can't remember exactly how) and have gleaned an immeasurable amount of wisdom, tips and inspiration from this community. Since switching to a hammock and diverging from the tent, I've found myself exploring more and more areas I wouldn't have previously attempted. I like solitude and hammocking has allowed me to take the less-traveled path...

    And that has made all the difference

    My equipment is simple and cheap (but really comfortable), my enjoyment has been profound and priceless.

    I look forward to much more exploration to come and the continued motivational spark that reading (and now participating in) the forums always ignites.

    Skol!

    Zoo.

    Hey there! We certainly do have some great parks here, and the Miss is a wonderful national park right in the middle of the cities

    When it seems like the night will last forever
    And there's nothing left to do but count the years
    When the strings of my heart start to sever
    And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    And dream me a dream of my own
    -Jerry

    Hey Zoo, welcome from Cincinnati. It is definitely cool to be able to camp almost anywhere, don't need a flat spot. Besides, the best locations are a little on the stealth side anyway!

    Enjoy,
