    40 miles on the AT with WBBB

    Last weekend I hiked a 40 mile section of the AT (32+8 approach, technically) from Amicalola to Springer to Neels Gap. Both nights I found a fantastic spot to hang - blew myself away with how perfect the spots were, both times.

    Trip report is here: (spread out over 3 or 4 posts, click "Newer Post"):

    Night 1: camped next to a roaring waterfall Long Creek Falls:


    Night 2: on top of Big Cedar Mountain:

    Very nice shots. That spot by the falls is where I hung a hammock for the very first time 4 years ago on the Benton MacKaye Trail. It instantly brought back a lot of memories.

    3rd picture - the hammock looks pretty high up or is that an illusion or am I drinking?

    Incredible spots! Thanks for the pics.
    I bet it was hard to pack up and leave.

    Yep, it is. Must have been during setup. As you can see in the last pic I lowered the straps below that elbow on the tree.

    Great pics, what tarp are you using (& size)?
    It's a Claytor "Small" (2.3meters x 3 meters) or 7.5'x10'ish. It is good for the money ($45) but there are lighter tarps out there (for a lot more money). 22oz with sack.
