This is my setup, been using it for several years now. I can switch out between the ENO DN or Blackbird depending on the mood i'm in. Hope this helps.
Yes, this area is real bad with the flooding and it just won't go away. About the only place around that is always open is Sand Ridge State Park. They have no rivers or lakes n the area.

Just to let you know, I have a similar stand that I use in the bedroom for my ENO DN. I had extensions made to raise the height of the ends about 12-14 inches. This made hanging my hammocks much more...
