    Not sure about those temps - brrrrr! Doors are good. I won’t leave home without tarp doors. Once you get doors, there is no before. Did the hammock bunching up technique work? I wouldn’t like you anymore either, if you woke me up like that. ;O) I like the little bridges... one of them had a roof! I’m ready for the next video, where is it!


    ***Oh now wait a minute, I just read that it was 9:30 in the morning when you woke that dude up! You did well to wait that long. I would have left him there. lol***

    Looking forward to part 2. My boy and I hiked the Finland Rec Center to Sonju Lake (and back) last month and had a good time. The site at Egge Lake was beautiful, but the loons were very vociferous that night.

    Thanks Fronkey, great video. Did you go back and pick up those two guys from florida or are they still there?

    Thanks Fronkey. I've been a lurking "Fronkey vid fan" for a good while now. This one did not disappoint! They never do. Where do you buy all that energy??

    Video turned out great dude! I just remember hearing your "alarm clock" across camp every morning and laughing. It's even funnier to finally see the video of it...
    Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

    When we walked into the south Egge lake campsite, we were both drooling at how pretty it was. Hope you and your boy had a great time. Thanks a lot!

    My #1 trip planned is to go to the Linville Gorge next May for the spring hang. But, if you're sleeping in, I just may serenade you. Thanks for watching!

    Just wait until you see what we did to him on the ride home. It's so much worse.

    The whole time I was hiking that section I kept saying how awesome it was. I have to say it's my favorite section so far and I plan on being back there soon and that wolf we saw was so awesome!

    We had parked the car at the end of the hike, so we had to go on regardless of how they felt. But yeah... they are still hurting from that hike.

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
