    Getting back into hanging in NC!

    Hello all!

    I just got back from my first group hangout with some fine folks in Pisgah National at John Rock - The first of many I hope.

    I started to prefer hanging rather than tents twenty-five years ago in my teenage years and was considered a little flaky for doing so. Since then, school, marriage, kids, and work have kept me out of my natural habitat. I've never known anyone else that slung a hammock until flatline showed me his rigs one day (which blew away anything I had ever come up with). Suddenly, I feel like the bee in the No Rain video by Blind Melon. People here on HF get me!

    I look forward to meeting many of you.

    I don't have a really cool signature line but if I did, this is where it would go.

    Enjoyed meeting you this weekend and glad you are back into hanging. One of the new things I learned: park rangers CAN arrest you!

    You make it sound like one of us got arrested this weekend! LOL! (didn't happen everyone)

    Getting arrested by a park ranger is what happens to you right after you tell a park ranger that park rangers can't arrest you.

    Great to meet you too grannypat! Many more times and soon I hope.

    By the way everyone... I'm an enforcement ranger (urban) with City of High Point Parks and Recreation Department.
