    Angry Hammock stolen!!!

    So here I sit in a motel in Grayling MI. I drove up today, 3.5 hrs, and headed over to Luzerne, a little east of here. I set up my tarp and hammock at Parmalee bridge state park, I was the only one there. I decided to drive into Luzerne to grab some dinner and when I got back my tarp was still there but my entire hammock rig was gone! Straps, UQ, bugnet and hammock. Fortunately I hadn't put my sleeping bag in yet. So I decided to just head home tomorrow. I had planned a three day solo paddle down the Au Sable, but I guess it was not meant to be. What a drag However a proper T-storm blew in when I got to the motel, so the good news is I missed that. So there's my tale of woe.
    Good luck,

    Bummer! That's not the way to get other people using hammocks. Here's hoping something good happens soon to offset your bad luck.

    Getting stuff stolen has always been in the back of my mind when setting up camp and heading to town. We've always been lucky nothing got bothered. I'm making some whoopies tomorrow. Shoot me your addy and I'll send ya a set.
    It'll be alright Friday!

    I'm so sorry to hear that. I live just south of that area in Cohoes. Please don't let the actions of one person from New York (if they were from NY) change your mind about NY. The Adirondacks are a beautiful part of the state.

    Thanks Mike. Apparently it just looked like a free hammock and they figured they'd give it a try.

    OH man that sucks! I'm so sorry dude! I won the deluxe model of this hammock in Water Monkey's auction and have yet to even take it out of the bag. If you need a hammock than I would be happy to PIF to you.

    Really crappy way to have any trip go. Really sorry to hear that. Here's to hoping it looks up real soon.
