If you're coming from M there's a site to the left (north side) on Nebbish Lake Rd. There is a blue ribbon marking the entrance from the lot. The trail to the lake is well marked as dogger and I walked it back and forth a couple times last night. Campsite is almost a straight shot across the lake and our trail may be slightly visible (windy last night). Don't skirt around the edge as the east side is deep powder and a pain in the butt.

No need to register. Gentleman with the state park service said we didn't need to fill anything out or pay anything. He just wants us to stay off his freshly groomed ski trail.

You fishing? I've got a 5" auger for water.

What size parachute is this? Don't mean to steal this thread but have not been able to find any answers else where.

Neat Hang experience. Humped in too much gear. Ate a lot of excellent food. Man-o-man can Dogger cook. Had some condensation issues again. There must be a solution. Now I understand all the ice on the windows of the barn when I was a kid doing chores.

Hopefully others will post pic's.

I don't have any pics to post but i think the condensation issue has one solution, Dogger needs to make us all hot tent for our hammocks.

I went real lite with gear this time around, only stayed for a a night and had to be in Boulder Junction by 1 on Sunday for work. Really nice spot though. Just about 25 minute flat walk in.

I really appreciated this opportunity to hang with you guys. Lots of good food been shared, chili and bacon-potato soup to name a few. I did lousy job setting my tarp (too high, bad orientation with my feet towards the wind and I didn't even bothered to close the door). I've been shivering on and off for a while until my clothes dried up and wind somehow settled a bit (huh, at least I picked a decent place to hang, just should've used other trees). Not too bad for -5F night (as consensus said) with a 20F-rated bag. Would I been worse, I'd get up and close that door

What worked good for me, was a combination of Thinlight Hammock Pad from Gossamer Gear and a Klymit Insulated Pad. They did wonders, kept my bottom warm, stayed under me with all the tossing and rolling and even stayed there when my dog got into my hammock or out.

I should also mentioned that my tarp and hammock were made by mountainwilderness365 and they are top notch. Ultra-light, and very strong (the hammock survived my dog without any punctures!)
