Greetings and Salutations from Beautiful Backwoods Alabama!

This forum has meant a lot to me whilst trying to get on board the hammock train... I have only been a hermit, lurker and sponge on this forum for the past year, and yet I have found so many great ideas, resources and contacts. I just wanted to say thank you to everybody that makes this happen.

I would especially like to thank Squidbilly for getting me back into backpacking and pointing me in this direction...

I hope to be able to add to the conversation here now that I have learned from some of the best.

See you in the woods!

Welcome! I live across the GA border near columbus, but Alabama is my hiking place of choice-------------I've spent lots of nights in the woods in your beautiful state! So many places to hike, without all the Atlanta traffic and crowds! Have you done the Pinhoti trail yet?
