    MD checking in

    Hey folks. Hows it hanging? (thought that would work well here) Long time camper, did some back packing in my teens and early 20's, now in my 30's I find myself borrowing my parents camper and taking the wife and kids out for a weekend (though my wife still complains because she is still more of a resort vacation girl). In the last 3 years have started to travel more and more on my motorcycle (my mistress), I started traveling and staying in hotels, but I find that I can usually double or triple my days on the road if I camp and cook rather than grab a hotel and dine in.

    I just grabbed a used hammock off klr650.net for cheap ($40 so I think its cheap), gonna try it out in a few weeks on a trip out to OH and the back roads of WV. I'm also getting ready to try and build my own Tarp, no sewing machine, but I can sew if I had one.






    Anyway, hi from me



    and just for laughs here is me camping with my grandparents roughly 25 years ago



    and my most recent trip

    Welcome from Rockville! Love the grandparent photo. Looks like most of mine with my grandparents - me in the middle, grandparents on either side, smokes in hand. The good life....
