Tree Men (Humor)

[kayak karl]

went on a three day hike with my son in the pine barrens in NJ. hammocks got alot of looks. when we got to hawkins bridge camp site, it was packed from the cranberry fest. a little girl in the site across from us just kept talking. they sleep in the trees, why dont we?, they dont have a car, they have small stoves, and on and on and on. at 7:30 my son could not find his camera case and we put in our head-lights and started looking around site, but the little girl yelled at the top of her lungs, "the TREE MEN have lights in their heads!!!" and ran in her tent to hide.
just thought it was funny.
her parents didn't

Haha - that's a great story! I wonder if the parents will get her a hammock of her own.

I've only been to the NJ pine barrens once but it seemed there was a lot of wilderness out there. No shortage of hammock sites! I'd like to visit again if I can find a reason for the AF to send me up there. Just finished reading Tom Brown's second book, too...part of this book is set there as well. North Carolina has pine barrens just like NJ as well...I read somewhere that there are some species found only in the NJ/NC pine barrens.

I almost shot coffee out my nose when I read that.

I've only driven thru the Pine Barrens but would like to spend some time hiking it. There used to be some pretty rugged road rallies staged there, notably the "Jersey Bounce" and later the Pine Barrens Express. Closer to pro rally than road rally, actually.

Past from the past it's still funny.

I wasn't here in 2008 so I missed it the first time around. Thanks for bringing it back out.
