    Here's the view from the parking lot - Mt. Pisgah at Sunset.

    We found a better hang site just off the back edge of one of the parking lots and began setting up our hammocks.
    ...
    Waddya mean, "It's poison ivey-ee-yee-yikes!!!"


    Its nice that not all hike trips have to be in the woods. Urban hiking can be just as fun.
    Its even nicer when my hammock is always at hand. Just never know when or where I may get a chance to use it.
    Hammock chat at sunset.

    Today we failed to find Shug but we found delicious livermush sammiches and fried bologna sammiches too. We hiked an estimated 5-ish miles; talked with several folks about hammocks; enjoyed the outdoors and setup our hammocks in two different spots for a bit'o rest.

    Thanks to Shug for being such a good sport! Thanks to Running Feather for participating in this trip with me. And thanks to ya'll at Hammock Forums - the best forum on the internet, me thinks!

    Now... onto the next great thing... it's time to unpack; then start repacking for next weekend's Hot Springs Hang See ya there!

    Oh, and of course we can always find Shug right here in Sector 7

    You fellers are easy to hide from! I was on the Zipper ride the whole time going head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels, head over heels.......ad infinitum.

    ...Ummm.....Please pass the mustard, Karl? Karl? No thanks Karl, I do not need that knife.
    I like fried bologna sammichs or fried bolonga with eggs and grits but I have never had livermush

    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'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
