    TN/Big Laurel Falls/Dec 21-22,2013

    Video of a short overnight trip to Big Laurel Falls on the Virgin Falls trail near Sparta TN. I had some great company with Roche, Ftroop, and the star of the trip Monkeyboy! Lots of scenery and not much hammock stuff. A heavy rain during the night made for a interesting water crossing.




    Happy Holidays to all our friends on HF.

    Glad to see you guys having fun this weekend...especially Monkeyboy. The bladder refill method looked a little questionable. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas

    Wait a minute! I didn't see Roche light up a Camel all weekend? Is there something you aren't telling us...

    Nobody likes a quitter Roche!

    Great video HNO. Monkeyboy loved watching himself, he's ready to hang on the island again and his sister is begging for a trail name.
    Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
    Healthy, free, the world before me,
    The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

    Great report, HNO. Yep that was a lot of water for that crossing. Looks like you all had a great time. Always love to see the young ones out there. Happy Holidays to you as well.

    HNO - thanks for taking the video, it was another fun trip; your trick for keeping insoles dry did work.

    Ftroop - did it for the children without putting their generation in trillions of dollars of debt; and a big thanks for escorting this old man across the creek, Monkeyboy taking care of me on the other side and you retrieving my pack.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours.
