    Wait until you get to the one where I was hanging next to the lake at pleasent pond. Great view and tarpless.

    I'm swaping out my memory card in andover, so hopefully in a 2 weeks or so I'll have some pics on.

    I'll catch everyone later. Shuttle is leaving shortly.

    ummmm... i'm wondering if that reporter was taking notes or just trusting his memory???
    maybe the logger from Oregon was a hammocker too, but i'm surprised that nate wouldn't be using the name we know... Hammock Engineer.
    we'll just have to see what HE has to say when he gets back to a computer.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    That has to be HE. Maybe he wants to earn a name from the trail rather than use what he's been known by. Kinda' a right of passage thing, maybe.

    oh yeah, i'm sure that's HE in the picture, i'm just wondering if the reporter got his facts right.
    but you may be right about wanting to pick up a trail name on his thru hike.

    Thanks for the link to the article. I'll have to send it on to my mom. The guy interviewed me as I was eating some ben and jerrys, btw I am 6 flavors into my quest of sampling the all.

    I did choose I trailname. I was just not sure if I wanted to keep it or not. It should be easy to guess based on some of my entries. The northbounder gave it to my at Chairback lean-to. I'll give everyone a hint, it has nothing to do with hammocks.

    I did setup at Bemis mountain Lean-to last night next to a northbounder who started in harpers ferry using a hh. She said she loved it. Most people I see like the idea. IT cracks me it when the southbounders I am hiking with ask me how I sleep. I usually reply, great same as every night. Especially after last night when they were in a full shelter and someone rolled in at 10pm. I think one of them was doing puking too.

    Also a little advice, don't hike over a bald in a thunderstorm. Just a little scary. Last nights entry explains it all.

    Also if anyone PM's me, include your email address. I have it setup to link to my pocketmail and can read what you right, I just can't reply. I'm in Andover tonight, hopefully headed out tomorrow, but there are thunderstorms on the forcast.

    Yeah its a little scary when you are on a bald at 3000+ feet and the storm is only at 4000 feet or so. I think that unless I am committed to going over I am going to stop at the first sign of thunder. We'll see, thunder storms are in the forecast for tomorrow.

    When it gets posted I think you will agree the group of french teenagers behind me had the closest call. They had to be borderline hypothermic when they rolled into the shelter. Without any raingear on and soaked to the bone. I almost got my hypothermia kit out for one of them. She ended up in a sleeping bag with dry clothes drinking my last instant breakfest though.

    Side note. It mayby August 7th. But hypothermia is still really real in the mountains when it is 50 degrees and storming. So please be ready for it.
