    I'd be interested, of course it won't be cool until November.

    I am in South Central Texas, Aggieland specifically, and am open to going anywhere within about 150 miles.

    The only places that I have been hanging have been State Parks in the car camping areas or "walk in" sites and finding a large number of suitable trees close together for more than one or two hammocks is tough. I would take my youth group to places like Enchanted Rock, Pedernales Falls, Goliad, Lake Somerville, Mission Tejas, and McKinney Falls State parks and that set up worked great. They were on the ground and my wife and I would "hang out". The problem is, now my kids like hammocks too and I am looking for places as well.

    In short, I am open to suggestions.

    I'd be up for something in late October or early November. I'm open for anything in central Texas or maybe around Lake Texoma. Heck a trip to Beavers Bend to combine camping and trout fishing would be good.

    I'm in the Dallas area. I'm new to all this. Would like to just meet and see hammock's in action and try them out. I'm talking an hour or so at a local park.

    I could be persuaded to come out. There are plenty of places to go. I'm also in the Dallas area. We could certainly carpool to save gas.

    Peace,

    WHOA THAR NEO!

    Texas is a land of contrasts and while there are areas such as you describe - exceptin the ugly part - there are lots o trees in many parts such as in the east piney woods of God's chosen state.

    If ya'll be would be up for it- maybe a hang in SE OK or SW AR and we could get a few more folks there from AR and MO.
