After the rain the Hammocks come out

My wife and I just got back from 10 days car camping in the Carolina Hemlocks Campground in NC. It rained for the first 4 days, but the high water in the South Toe River and great weather the last 6 days more than made up for it.
My wife dubbed our 90"x156" sage green crinkle tablecloth hammock the PeaPod because we fit in it like two peas in a pod.

She also loved her Hot Pink DIY gathered end.

We met our usual "Hemlocks Family" up there, but the rain scared off most of them as spaghetti diner last Friday was only about 20 people, half of what it usually is.
Roaring Fork Falls(pic below) is just one of the many awesome waterfalls in the area. Anyone looking for a great place to get away to car camp, hike, and chill in the river should look into Carolina Hemlocks Rec Area Yancey County, NC. Home Of Mt. Mitchell.

sweet! that 90 looks nice. Thought about getting one. The pink is so bright! Got a DIY for my fiancee that same color and she loved it.

Hah.. I tried to get my wife a HH that was camo because I could've gotten it insanely cheap - totally had her sold on it till I told her it was camo... It was at that point I was informed that she wouldn't want a hammock unless it was hot pink...
Thought I was SOL... Hahahaha!!!
I WILL get her in a hammock

I win!

That is of course provided that you share the uber secret location where you found the material... Any chance you saw any Breast Cancer Pink? there or any-where?

The dog is my sister-in-laws pitbull and she loves the water. Our aussie does not he also does not mind well so he was tied to a tree. The pink rip stop was purchased from ebay emma kites.
