    Stranded with a hammock

    Just read this story and couldn't help but notice the word hammock. I just thought some may be intrigued.

    There aren't too many details in this story but I'm sure a little follow up would go a long way.

    Kinda hard to relate to a snow storm when its pushing 90 deg. here, but then they're "upside down" weather-wise.

    Seems that they kept their head about them and just waited out the solution.

    I was going to post something about this too. Thought it was interesting.

    "He said the nights were tough to take because the rain and sleet pounded down on the tarpaulin covering their sleeping hammock and the river roared – reminding them all the time of their predicament."

    I wonder what kind of tarp they had. Would have made a big difference in making things less/more comfortable (stating the obvious).

    Looks like a real rough time surviving by having to share a hot spring with her.

    There's an existing thread from today about this here.
