    Thanks! It truly was an experience.

    Bummer about the weather and no one else could make it. But, good for you for still getting out there in those woods.

    I used to live in St. Augustine off of Racetrack in Fruit Cove. Small World.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a dream...remind me to tell you about Bigfoot some time. He almost caused me to punch the driver of a car that I was in once...just before we ran over a raccoon the size of a bear cub at seventy...

    The weather was perfect. I love me some hiking in the wind and rain. I just don't like biking into the wind over long distances...that was the only drawback.

    Definitely a small world.

    Thanks!

    Aw, 's okay. I'm kinda used to being out on solos; my work schedule is so off from everyone else's that it's a fairly normal thing for me. I'll catch ya at the annual winter hang in Ocala, though, for certain!

Sometime I want to paddle and or hike someplace different from our area. Thanks again for the creative energy you put into the report. Nice break from work.
    Thanks! It certainly made for an interesting trip. If you every want to come on down to the greater Gainesville area, definitely let me know; we'll see what we can come up with. It most certainly was a great break from the weekly grind.

    Thanks for that excellent report! I like a guy that doesn't let monsoon rains and 50 miles of headwinds stop him!

    I must say that Shug inspired me to hang more than the ocasional net hammock in a friends backyard and got me to hammockforums, but your resolute inclination to take this trip regardless of conditions, and by bike even, with the trip report is what tipped me to become a member. Wow, that was a long sentence. I'm very impressed and now have a primer to what dedication to the hang this community is.

    Well, thank you. That's quite the compliment. I'm not sure that "hard-headed stubbornness" qualifies as a good quality, mind you......but I do appreciate the compliment, nonetheless.

    Let me know if you're ever up this way. As long as my schedule allows, I'll be there.
