Made it out to Hawn State Park (MO) for an overnighter last night. It was my wife's first backpacking trip AND first overnight hang. We hung from the same 2 trees via the "webbing on opposite sides of the tree" method, which I should point out needs a better name. I used my new DIY hammock, and she used a GTUL. The weather was perfect; low 60's during the day and 48 at night. The fall colors were out in full force!
This is about as piney as the woods get around here.
After wrestling with a pad all night, my wife is finally convinced of my need for an underquilt That's her in the hat hiding from the camera (due to bed head)
And nobody said backpacking can't be stylish!
