Hey guys. I live in Old Hickory and have talked back and forth with Ewker a few times (on WB)but never met him. My wife and I would like to come to the hang out. I have a travel hammock skeeter beater that I have used a couple of times on the AT. I just ordered my first HH and it should be here this weeked. I am a newbie, but willing to learn! :D

Careful now. You're awfully new to develop the kind of hammock envy you'll likely end up with when you see all the custom rigs! ;):D

That is always a concern. The other problem is that I am a Jeep guy and I'm affraid tht Neo is going to get me all jazzed up about mess''n with my jeep!!!!!!! I had kind of gotten over all that, but it is a hard habbit to break!!!!!!:scared:

Shadowmoss
04-01-2009, 19:40
Don't, I repeat, DON'T let him drive your Jeep. I saw the gleam in his eyes as he looked down my creek and asked to 'test' drive my new Jeep.

:)

stumpy
04-01-2009, 20:36
He probably will not get to excited about my jeep. It is a Grand Cherokee (ZJ). I traded my YJ several years ago (I still kick myself for that!!!!). It is mostly stock, but I'm thinking about adding some stuff now.:)

neo
04-08-2009, 10:27
If we don't have enough food we can always buy extra stuff.my main concern is an acurate head before I buy the barbeque.the stuff is great and it cost me 7.00 bucks a pound.I don't want to under buy or over buy.the town hohenwald is only 10 miles from the campground. :cool:neo

stumpy
04-08-2009, 16:59
Kori and I are in for whatever we need to bring, just let us know. We could do cokes/Mt. Dew/tea or whatever (bring your own mixers!). Just a thought, let us know.

neo, you won't get an 'accurate' head count until the week before, if then. People just don't want to commit until they know for sure they can make it.

True... and I'm one of them. I'm actually thinking of switching to Saturday night, just to be in on the feast, but I'd have to drive home that night. It depends on how things go at work and home that week.

I'm happy to help pay for the BBQ, Neo, plus bring something myself, including firewood as always.

Then going and getting my grandson on Friday and spending the afternoon with him then being at the campground with him to welcome everyone in.
