I was in Norfolk during that storm waiting for my travel orders to join my ship out in Guam, met my shipmate from VB at the airport the two of us resplendent in our shorts and flipflops and my buddy with his surfboard underarm. You should have seen the looks we got, a moment I will always treasure...

FOOOOOOD!!! Who doesn't like some good eating?!?! My wife will be down to go but she doesn't feel overly comfortable with a hammock as she does a tent. I may have to compromise and bring a tent as well, but I would love to sleep in my hammock. Either way I'll be there and if she does go than I will forfeit the nights sleep in my hammock(which I will still bring for lounging..maybe sleeping if I slip away). I don't want to miss the opportunity to meet some good people and eat some good food. I plan on getting out to Ocala on my own within the next couple of months while the weather is nice and to get a feel of the area.

Get her to come along! My wife really hasn't warmed up to hammock camping. She has endured it a few times but likes motionless sleeping. You and her will have a great time! Great people to meet and hangout with. Keeps me coming back!!

I'm keeping my eye on ya'll

I may try to make it for this hang. It will depend if KingsFord can get some time off, and if the funds for travel are there, but we'd love to come hang out with ya'll.

This is surely a hang to go to and make the effort for the time. It's hard to do after the holidays(dang hard), but, worth it.

You can make the trip by bus with the 8-10 others coming down from your neck of the woods

We'll have a better idea come December I hope. I really want to come down, so I'll be pushing for it. We'll sign up as soon as we know if and when we're coming.
