My electrons are finally up and spinning. .” I appreciate everyone keeping an eye on me. I must have looked pretty bad because everyone was concerned. . . What a GREAT Hammock Camping Family!!!!

It was an especially rough trip for me. Bronchitis with shaking chills every night - - - I even had them when I got home and under an electric blanket on high.

In addition, I failed my own advice (see the trip planning pages) about eating MedicineMan’s cooking. I spent most of the Stage Coach Campsite night in the Privy. I do not know what all was coming out. It sounded like thunder on a perfectly clear night. I know I soiled underwear and pants with stuff arriving at my knees before I could reach the “Magic Hole. I was barely able to get my legs moving for the trek out.

Thanks everyone for checking on me and helping me carry my load when I was down. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to return the favor in the future. What a great group of friends – It is always an honor to be allowed to join in on these hangs!

I appreciate MM VID and everyone’s attached pictures to remind me of what I did not really appreciate at the time.

Looking forward to seeing all of you on the trail again,

Hey MM,

Did you post the Hadron shot on backcountry.com?

[MedicineMan]

Currently drinking lots of Pedialyte.

I hope you get better soon friend!

Assuming I did this correctly, there is a shot of most of us Roche'd into Hadrons on the backcountry.com website...

Poll question-
How many carried stools on this trip?

I carried the Grand Trunk stool ,but I didn't cover the miles you covered. but I liked it so much, i think I would next time.

I really enjoyed this hike & hang and putting faces with trail names. Looking forward to some more hikes in the area. 2sticks and I want to say thanks to everyone that came and to ftroop for organizing this great hang.

Below is a short video showing some of the scenery from my hike on Wed/Thur with Spamburglar and emcee and a couple takes from later in the hike. The last couple hikes I have enjoyed hiking and not taken a lot of video so this is just a few video "snapshots" of the trip. The hike started with snow on Wed and ended with 60 degree temps on Sunday.

Medicineman will be producing the real trip video but until he is able to get his posted this will give a preview of some great scenery and company.

Thanks for sharing this! Great scenery.
