We both forgot cameras so no pics this time around, even learned a new knot for my tarp to get nice and snug, we may have converted 2 girls to hammocking if thier mom will get them a hammock, they were 3 and 5 and were very quizitive on where we were sleeping. great wekend great food great company, any body get a chance to hang with "OMS" you need to do it hell of a nice guy. I hope to plan a yak trip down the wisconsin river and hang anyone interested????
