    Great time. Nice report Hangnout!
    Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
    Healthy, free, the world before me,
    The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

    glad you had a good time. Wish we could have been there but Memphis was awesome

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    I'd be all for it, but I'll be in VA collecting my little hammockers!

    Thumbs up

    Paint me jealous, jealous, jealous.

    My only consolation is that I was backpacking the Citico Creek Wilderness with two great companions ... and too Neo and I did our own little hang Monday night. Photo from our campsite of him doing his morning ablutions in the lake yesterday.

    Next time, though, I hope to make it out for one of these Bear Island hangs! Though from the looks of the gear, water-craft, and food, y'all may put me to shame.
