I so concur with Perkolady .... laying in a hammock with a good read in the rain in the piney, drippy woods is like being under a tin roof with a good read and a bowl of pop-corn and a craklin' fire. The best of comfort and relaxation.
Like the critter under you ... better than a snake in your bag .... or in your bagpipes!
I enjoyed reading about the trip and wish you more time in the 1000 acre woods.
