My wife and I will be heading that way tomorrow and looking forward to checking out the area! Thankfully we reserved a site at Hosack Run Campground expecting a rather large turnout as you mentioned.

Once you turn at campsite 2 and start following the creek, it'll be at least a 10 minute hike from there back to the group hang site. So just keep looking for a big open clearing and it's just past...

I was planning on heading down Thurday as well, but may come up with alternative plans and go elsewhere since the Wolf Pen campground is closed? The pics I've saw of McDougal looks to not have as...

My wife and I are planning to make it as well, our first trip to Sipsey. Looks like a nice area to explore.

You're going to be parking at the firetower on Tower Ridge road and following the directions to the campsite posted earlier. If you're coming from Bloomington you'll take the next left after Tower...

Yeah, that's kind of a cluster F right there with the work going on and I get what your saying. I always come in from the East so I wouldn't have to mess with that and could easily map out the...

If your getting there at dark, your odds will be better than me arriving at 4-5 while people are still out walking. The nearest spot to there is the parking area that heads to the Peninsula which is...

Planning to be there later Friday afternoon as well. Hoping the rain keeps the day hikers away and there is parking spots at the fire tower. Otherwise it may be a longer hike in from one of the other...

My wife and I are planning to be there as long as the whole weekend doesn't appear to be a washout with rain. Let me know if there's something specific you'd like us to bring?

It's worth it! Usually go down there and mountain bike a few times a year. It'll be nice to check out some other areas down there.

This looks like a pretty awesome location, definitely interested in this one! Having camped numerous times at Thunder Rock Campground down by the whitewater center at Ocoee, always up for camping...

That was a great video of an amazingly beautiful area!! Hope to do that sometime!

Looks like a a great trip, and no need to apologize!
Wow, I wasn't aware Armadillos were this far north!?

So if arriving and the lot is full, is it possible to pull a pulk from Pickeral Lake Campground to Green Timbers, or is it too rugged? Or maybe the road to it isn't even plowed and not an option?...

Wow, that looks awesome!!
Wishing I lived out in Colorado to take advantage of the awesome recreational opportunities you have out there!! Beautiful country, enjoy!

Get a set of Dutch's, "Clip-on Tarp Pull Outs" to use in extremely windy conditions like that. I clip them in the bottom middle of my tarp to prevent the tarp from blowing in on my hammock and they...

Great advice and thank you TZBrown and oneclick!
Forgot about the sandy soil up there so that definitely makes it a bit easier!

Have loved checking out reports of this hang the last few years and am planning on coming up this year! Building up a pulk and have gotten some snow shoes, so hoping there's still a lot of the white...

Trecker8, you might actually be living in a “dump,” but the USA as a whole isn’t!! Hopefully your retirement is sooner than later, last thing any red blooded American wants to hear is garbage like...

Were you somewhere in Rush County? That’s just south East of me and there are numerous Amish farms and it’s not far from Indianapolis.

Congratulations, what an awesome adventure in such a beautiful place!! Great write up and pictures!
Hopefully my wife and I could get out there and do that sometime. We had our honeymoon in Tahoe...

My wife and I plan to come and hammock camp on Friday and Saturday night. Looking forward to it!

Had the same issue with my new Superfly leaking at the middle tab as well, thankfully I was car camping and had a super cab truck to sleep in after removing everything before it got soaked, or I...

Wow, what an awesome location!! Love your reports and videos as well!

The UP is awesome, wish I could get up there more!
Congrats on converting the wife, I finally got mine to hang this year and she has loved it as well! Having 0deg gear is the biggest factor on what...

Not familiar with the Pierre area, but the Black Hills Area is extremely beautiful! We vacationed a few times up there and based our trip out of Hill City. I can clearly remember heading north up 385...

****, wish I could make it down to this hang considering I have a kayak as well!! Looks like that would be a great time, enjoy!

Beautiful area!! My family and I camped a couple of nights at Cheaha last week. It was extremely windy one of the 2 nights we were there as well!

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks! Would really appreciate that if you happen to be around there to let me know which site would be the best, but don't go out of your way. I will end up calling them as well, but most times I...

Hoping I could possibly make this, looks like a really cool area!
Seeing you're from London, are you familiar with the Sheltowee Camp, campground a few miles up the road from the dam on Laurel Lake?...

Enjoyed meeting everyone this weekend, great group of people!!

I went and rode Montgomery Bell for 3hrs Saturday afternoon,and seeing the rain was at 100% during the night and Sunday, and we were supposed to get 3-6" of snow at home, I decided it'd be best to...

Thanks, c ya tomorrow!

I'll be down in the area and plan to stay Friday night and am going up to Montgomery Bell SP for Saturday night. I plan to be down there around 1-2pm Friday, anyone else planning to be there around...

No problem, just pay attention if you stay down in the bottom campground, it's full of walnut trees! Yes, the trails are really nice there as well, I mountain bike there on occasion.
Seeing your...

My daughter and I hammock camped last fall at Hueston Woods with no issues, so you should be good...

Great purchase, you'll love it!
I just got to use my Sparrow last weekend for the first time, and couldn't be happier! I was pretty sold on the Sparrow from all the positive videos and reviews...

Very Cool!! I hope to give that a shot one of these days.
So where about are you hammocking down at the Gorge? I've never been down there and have been wanting to go really bad... PM if you want...

Welcome.
I'm new to the forum as well and live south of you in Shelbyville. Probably hanging down in Charles Deam Saturday if interested? Planning to try and hang at least every month this year,...

Tempting... Was planning to hammock camp with another group (not Hammockers) up in Charles Deam Wilderness, south of Nashville, IN, this coming Friday and Saturday. That's a 1.5hr drive from home as...
