    Turtle Dog Stand in NoVa area?

    I am doing a bike ride in Lynchburg, Va on May 10. The night before, I'll be camping in the local YMCA soccer field. Ideally, I'd like to hammock camp (I don't have a tent anyways).

    Is there anyone in the NoVa area that would be willing to lend me a turtle dog stand for the night of the 9th? I can return it in the afternoon/evening of the 10th on my way back to Washington DC.

    Mods, please feel free to move this post if it is not appropriate for this section.

    You can use mine if Warrenton, Va. isn't too far out of your way.
    Standard 10' pole - I don't know how you would use a tarp with it - I use it on a deck or if there is no chance of rain.

    Follow-up info - Looks like all you options are covered:
    - if you do not need to use a tarp, you can use my stand.
    - if you do need to use a tarp, use harleynemo's.

    May 17th leaving DC at noon it's about 1 hour to my house.
    I sent you a PM with my address/directions/phone info. I'm 1.5 miles off your primary route.

    Thanks Oldpappy, and Nemo for the offers. I realized that I said the incorrect date in the message. I will in fact need the stand for the 17th, as OP mentioned.

    As for the tarp situation, I do have a WL Tadpole, but it is a 11ft ridge line. If I do decide to use it, I imagine I can just fold the ends of the RL in over the pole, and stake it out as usual.

    My stand is available the 17th as well.

    The ridge pole on my stand is about 14' long. My WBMJ tarp with doors is easily strung up under pole, no need for folding.
