    i can't look at trees normally anymore...

    I was bitten by the hammock bug last summer and I'm starting to notice the neurological effects.

    I don't see trees anymore. I see hammock posts.

    If I'm driving around and see only 1 tree in someone's yard I feel disappointed for them.

    If I see 2 trees that are too close together for hammocking, I cringe.

    The other day I had to fight the urge to hang my hammock between the 2 most perfectly spaced trees I've ever seen. Too bad they were in the front of an elementary school and I didn't want to invite that sort of attention.

    I can only judge a tree's value now by it's appropriateness for a hang.

    Is this something that will fade away as I grow older in my hammock years or will this forever be a part of me?

    That's funny and it must be something we hangers go through. I find myself looking continuously along the trail for the perfect hanging trees and I can't stop. We may need to start a HHA (Hammock Hanging Anonymous) group hang to discuss this affliction.

    It's not bad until you start considering getting rid of your bed and sleeping in a hammock permanently. Then you might want to consider going to HHA meetings.

    I'm not quite there with hammocks yet (yet!), but I can't pass a cliff side without considering possible climbing routes...
