Awesome! Let's get something on the calendar for July. getting Fridays off can be tough but a Sat/Sun trip is always possible.

We haven't set a date yet but I'm open to any weekend in July.

I'd really like to explore the trails near Payson and it'd be nice to meet some folks since we just moved out here are few months ago. The next month or so is pretty hectic but should be able to...
That'd be great! The wife and I are doing some camping at the Grand Canyon the first week of June though. i know it'd be short notice but I could go next weekend.

Hope I'm posting this in the right place.... I'm relatively new to AZ and have some friends coming out in June for an overnight backpack trip. My challenge is where to go within a couple of hours...
I'm new to Tempe but would definitely like to meet some fellow hangers and backpackers. If I can get time away from work, count me in!

Hey Gideon, It'd be great to meet up again but that weekend is our Wedding Anniversary, so I won't be able to make it. Hope you get a good turnout!
If anyone in the Ofallon/St Charles area wants to drive down together, I'm happy to drive. I live really close to the intersection of Hwy K & Ofallon Rd.
Edit: I just read my post and realized...
I was planning on being down there around noon or so. My plan was to hike down to camp 2 or 3 and then hike back up to the trailhead to finish the Whispering Pines loop. That said, I have no...
Looks like this will be a damp solo hike unless someone else is as desperate as I am to get outdoors.
Thanks for getting this organized Disco and Gideon. Count me in!
If I hadn't already made plans, I'd be all over it!
Hey guys/gals! I hear Hawn State Park is about the most beautiful short hike out there. Sounds like it would be perfect for any new hangers (like me) as well as a favorite among the more...
Hope you had a successful trip. I'm trying to find some time to get out on the trail, so sorry I missed this.
Just saw this and I'd be pumped to go but have plans this weekend and next weekend. There's a good chance that I could go 4/4-5. My thought is to hike all over the OT and eventually do a thru hike.
I'm dying to get get out in the woods and meet up with everyone again but well be out of town that weekend. Have a great time.
Thanks for a great hike. I really enjoyed everyone's company. I'll post up a few pics after I pull them of my camera.

We lucked out. It was dry the whole weekend.
Looking forward to a good weekend! I should get there by about 3 pm.
That's a topic I was wondering about too. I've got a water bladder I can take with but if can avoid having to carry that much water and just filter what I need, that would be quite nice. Does...
Skygzr, I'd love to try some as well. I've actually been trying to figure out some good foods for hiking.
Thanks,
Ben
Thanks! I checked that out last night. Still, I'm gonna try adding the fleece blanket as another layer to the foam. The last time I was out, the space blanket just seemed to capture to much...
Hey jokerr,
I plan on being at the Trail head near Hwy kk at 1 pm. If you're still interested in meeting up, feel free to call, text, or post up on the thread I started. I'll PM you with my phone...
No worries. I'm just trying to work off as much of my noob-ness as possible so I don't show my lack of experience in front of multiple people I've never met before :) Thanks for the offer to help!
Sounds like I've just drafted a co-worker, so I'm still in but +1 now.
I hadn't really decided yet. I was there last week and camped at that some spot. I didn't get a chance to take a look at the spring though. There was a large boy scout group there at the time, so...
I'm testing out a bunch of my new gear (cuz I'm a rookie) and getting my hiking legs under me. If anyone is interested, I'd like to get there right after work Friday afternoon to hike in. On...
I just tested out my Super Shelter this weekend. I used the under cover, foam pad and space blanket. For top cover, I used a ratty old sleeping bag and fleece blanket. When I folded up the space...
I was able to get out this weekend and make a trip to Cuivre River State Park near Troy, MO this weekend. Considering that I’m joining a group of guys later this month to hike Berryman trail and...
Welcome from St Charles, MO!
There are plenty of hammock makers to choose from. I went with a hammock from Hennessy because it was the only one I was really aware of at the time. There's also a...
I just requested a 1/2 day off for Friday. I'm hanging out Friday night even if no one else is!
Welcome to the site, Dadto2! My dad, step mom and sisters lived in Shelbyville for a long time. In fact, my younger sister is getting married there this summer. Anyway, it's good to see a...
Looks like Bosch and I are the two new guys.
I was going to do my first hammock hike by myself at Land Between the Lakes, but meeting up with a group would be even better.
Count me in!
Welcome from another guy in St Charles!
I'd love to get in on this but I'm running 12k in St Louis on the 14th. I'll keep lurking the Trip Planning forum though. As a hammock rookie, it'd be nice to learn from everyone.

Welcome to MO from another former Coloradan. When we first moved here, my perception was that there may not be much hiking/camping in Missouri. If you fee the same way, you'll be surprised when you...
Sweet! I just did an overnighter in my back yard at about 40 degrees, so I know what you mean. I'm trying to figure out what my strategy will be for staying warm in cooler temps. What kind of...
I'm even more envious. I thought it looked like good weather but sounds like a good group of guys too. Maybe I'll get to crash the party on the next one.
Nice! I'm going to try and hang in the back yard tonight to figure out the set up and insulation. If I feel confident, I'll hit Cuivre River.
Just got a hammock. I haven't hung it yet, not sure if I can stay warm enough overnight, don't have a stove and my pack is questionable. As much as I'd like to join in on this, it's not quite the...
Well that's good to know :(
Is there a way to check on that kind of stuff or is it more a "live and learn" kind of thing?
Excellent... Looks like I've got neighbors that are already into hanging. I may make a trip this Saturday to Cuivre River. I don't have a game plan for insulation yet so I'm not planning on staying...
When I got into triathlons, I signed up for a triathlon forum. Since, I was a runner at the time, I tried "runforrestrun" but it was taken. "triforresttri" just seemed to make sense and I've used...
Hey Guys, I've been a lurker here for a few months and after reading through countless threads, debating type and cost, I've ordered a Hennessy Explorer DEEEluxe.
Can't wait to test it out and...
