    Hello from Portland, Maine

    Hello All,

    I just completed my first DIY hammock this weekend. I think I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to doing some bike touring this summer and I can't think of a more comfortable way to get a nights rest than in a hammock!

    Welcome from the West coast. I have to say that Portland Maine is a place that I will have to consider for retirement. We love it up your way. Enjoy your hanging in your beautiful part of the world.

    Thank you for the warm welcome everyone.

    Mad777: I really enjoy Dimillo's too, especially the scallops!

    olddog: I would enjoy something like that. I have never done anything along the lines, but I'd love to give it a shot. Please keep me posted or point me in the right direction of a thread that will.

    Labrador: I agree that Portland is beautiful and I am thankful to be living here!

    Welcome, Good. I enjoyed the two years I lived in Maine.

    Want to visit again some day.
