Hi all. Just back from another great EGL Hang into Algonquin. Although the weather was a little challenging, you can't fault the scenery; Algonquin was showing off her colours in style. A week or two past their prime, the hills were dominated by dark greens of the conifers, the pale yellows of the birches and greys of the tree limbs here and there accented by a splash of bright red. The forest floor was a carpet of gold. Beautiful.
Trip report to follow asap!
Anxiously waiting. :drool:
Can someone who was able to go please post just one or two pics to tease us, please? I'd love to see how it went, but I know it's hard to find the time to get a full trip report up!
Patience, young padawanQuote:

I got my TATO Kickstarter Hammock Stand the night before coming up to Algonquin. Here it is set up on Ralph Bice.

Sweet! Thanks for the pics. How did you like the stand?
In a word: Amazing!Quote:

I did notice the stand whistling a bit when the wind was gusting but I think that would hold true for other stands as well.
Thanks Chard, and sorry for the impatience... those pics were great! It looks like everyone had a good time and it didn't look too cold or wet.
Real sorry we missed the hang, but Nanny and Pappa duties with a 3 year old had to come first.
