I knew I was going to miss a good one! And missing out on seeing some (quite a few) folks again and no doubt meeting some nice folks. Plus, of course, hanging. I could have come most any day(S) next week! Oh well, that's how it goes! Glad y'all had a good time!

..... After we warmed up and had many laughs we retired to the hammocks for a chilly evening in our new DIY KAQ UQ's. The temperature that was reported by Weatherbug.com at 6:30am on Saturday morning was 27.4 degrees F, an all time low for Mandy and myself. We did supplement the quilts with a blue CCF keister pad as we exceeded the limits of our quilts.

Saturday:
Breakfast as DCSP was wonderful and plentiful.

Hey BigBama, didn't we get that cold on the 1st Sipsey hang, when it snowed? Probably pretty close, anyway!

I hated to miss breakfast at David Crockett park! But it sounds like there was so much food that, after adding a huge breakfast I would have exploded. Sorry I missed seeing all of you guys! ( You and I have been on two Sipsey hangs together, but I have not managed to be at MLP at the same time as you.)

I am not sure exactly how low we got that weekend in the Sipsey but it was cold enough to snow on us!!!!!!!!! It would have been nice to see you again and hopefully we can meet the MLP in the spring or sooner on the trail.............

Once we got all the gear set-up we joined the conversations at the fire ring. We knew some of the ham-hockers, inside joke for those who were there and should be Suzie's new trailname , and were introduced to the newcomers.

Sunday morning everyone enjoyed left over sausage, monkey bread and some of Lazyboy's wifes fabulous Sourdough bread. If she is not considering marketing this product would she please send me a loaf and possibly the recipe???????? After all of this we got packed up and prepared our day ahead of moving Mandydawn's storage items from Hohenwald to Gadsden where she now lives with me!!!!!!

One un-invited guest was found at the hang this time while we were there................Suzie did manage to find a Black Widow under her sleeping bag in the tent she and Ewker were sharing.

To all of the ham-hockers who were there this weekend..........Thank You for wonderful weekend and We hope to see you all again in the Spring or sooner on the trail.

Pictures to post tomorrow, we are trying to relax from all of the moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait to tell her that her new name is ham-hockers
Suzie did lay in a few hammocks and is willing to give them a try. She liked bigbamaguy's Clark hammock better than the Blackbird I had hanging up.

we aren't sure how that Black Widow got in the tent but once the word was out everyone started checking their hammock just to be safe. I did notice a sign that black widows and Brown recluse spiders were in that area..really nice to know

glad you got everything moved to ya'lls new home It is such a good feeling isn't it

lazyboy, thanks for the biners. I forgot the correct name for them.

It was great seeing everyone again and the new folks who showed up. We had a great time and look forward to the next one.
I will try and get some pics posted within the next few days.

That is why Permethrin is tolerated by me, despite the 3rd arm I have grown!

Looks like everyone had a great time was had by all. Thanks for sharing with those of us who have not been able to get out lately. Due to that nasty word called work.
