Brother Rain was finally able to join us, after being MIA for the last few months.
We started out the trip with a night hike in, Rain drove to my place right after work- so we carpooled the rest of the way.

Once getting to camp, I decided to replenish with some juice.

I think we only ended up with a low of 50* that night. Perfect weather if you ask me.

Kevin surprised us with his presence around 12am- good thing he gave us the dieng Giraffe signal. Here he is working on a whoopie sling

Rain's setup for the night: Eno Doublenest Hammock, Hammockgear UQ, Not sure about the tarp (hopefully he chimes in)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...0rain/LC72.jpg
He had this cool idea to use the hiking poles as spreader bars, on the side pullouts for extra space in his sweet new tarp.
