    ADK Last minute brutal cold hang

    They're calling for -32F Sunday night in Lake Clear NY... where there is brutal cold, there must I go. Due to real life interference we're doing just one night only, three of us going so far, at least one hammock (me) one ground dweller, and NFA who sometimes hangs and sometimes tent-camps.

    We'll be camping at Polliwog Pond, at roughly N 44 20.380 W 074 21.030 on Floodwood Road. I expect to arrive between 1pm to maybe 2pm Sunday, and leaving bright-and-early on Monday.

    If you're available and crazy/stupid enough to join us, try and hit me up prior to 7:30 Sunday morning and I'll pass you my cellphone number and specific info to help you find us (although the coords should get you there and we'll likely be the only campers that night, LOL!)

    It's a pretty spot, at least.

    How far from Brewster is it? I have a customer up that way that I might be able to setup a visit to on Monday so I could join you.

    Just looked it up, even if I did setup a call in the Brewster area, It's just too far.

    Darn work.

    Will do the best I can. I've had tough luck with digital cameras in sub-zero temps in the past. Hopefully if I keep it in an inner pocket, it'll run
