    Wink Fronkey and the Black Buttes

    Here is a quick over nighter I did this past weekend to the Black Buttes in Tahoe National Forest.
    I met up with hammock forums member "GregB" and his puppy "Thunder" for a fun hike at Grouse Ridge. The scenery was amazing and we had epic views pretty much the entire trip with temps down in the 20's. It was a great place to escape for a couple days and I'm looking forward to getting back out there again.

    Thanks for the chance to take us along!! Views are memorable, that's for sure. What kind of elevation are you at there?

    Thanks dude. Yeah, there's not much to see in the cities, but the SHT sure is an awesome place to hike.

    Thanks S. I really want to see if we can get a winter hang going, but I'm not sure if there is any interest with where we live.
