I'm new to hammocking...but I should have my gear ready for this trip if everyone doesn't mind a noob.

Nope, don't mind at all. The more the merrier.

It's going to remain to be seen if I can make it or not. Part of it will depend on what my winter sleeping kit turns into. Currently with my gear I can't go below the low 30's. We'll see. Maybe Christmas will be good to me.

The pics that were on the news looked like the fire was across 206 from Atsion Ranger station and south of the lake.

The campsite is on the north side of the lake. I am watching this close, hope they get a handle on it soon.

Count me in for a little hanging in the pines.

Great!

I'll swing by the ranger station and check out the site, make sure the fire didn't damage it.

Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon
Spit out hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it's deep and wide
I go down, I don't die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out'cha your happy home

Ram's head, forked tail, clove hoof, love's my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go

Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She's my one and only and her name is Baby Blue...
