Looks to be a good weekend weather wise.
A few from our other group. Bring them on.
Looking forward to it.
Reservations have been made for Gator Hole.
Welcome aboard. Bring what you will need. Gear, food, drink, etc. The water of Isabelle Creek thru a Sawyer filter is excellent. Trees are scattered but plenty for what looks to be a smaller group...
One of my favorites.

Anyone else going in on Thursday? Any newbie that need more info?
Stayed up late last night to secure Gator Hole for the start of the 2023/2024 season.
There will be a number of "Sherpas" around.
Still hoping to be there on Thursday. I will be having a medical procedure that morning.:thumbup1:
I made the reservations for Thursday - Sunday just to make sure I got them. I'll be going in on Thursday noonish.
It will be at Gator Hole in Green Swamp West. The trailhead is off SR471 on the Sumter County side of the Withlacoochee River. It is a 1.5-mile hike along the orange blazed Florida Trail. As you pass...

O-boy and I will be going in around noon on Thursday. Subway jim coming in later. Hope to see y'all.
Sounds good.
looks like a cold front coming in Thursday. Followed by cooler temps. Looking forward to snuggling in my down. Bringing a tarp.
Any others making this trip?
See you there.
Just secured Gator Hole for Dec 15-18. Again I'm going in on Thursday out on Sunday.
As of 10 minutes ago the weekend has been cancelled by SWFWMD.
Sounds good.
Received notice from SWFWMD that reservations were cancelled due to the storm. Called and was advised I could make reservations for Friday-Sunday. Going to be a great weekend!
Going to pick up a tarp today for the weekend. I'm still on until we get more info. The report this morning is late Wednesday early Thursday in Central Florida. Wind possibly up to 50 mph. Rains of...
Welcome aboard K_Man.
Others and I will be spending Thursday night in the woods and hammocks. Come out early if you can.
Reservations have been secured for Gator Hole in Green Swamp West. Ready for my hammock in the woods.
The long-range forecast has the weekend as near perfect. Who is heading into camp on Thursday?
:rolleyes:
Yes sir. I'll be going in Thursday.
Yes, and we have never had a problem.
Already going to be a good Sherpa. Three's a crowd but we want a bigger crowd.
After last year's experience at Creekside, we will be returning to Gator Hole for this year's Sherpa Hang. See y'all there.
Start at Green Swamp East the Hamton Tract. Spend the first night there. Maybe at the Mott Hammock site. Second night at Gator Hole in Green Swamp West. Third at Concession Stand. 5th would be High...
Thank you for sharing Techy. The kind of weekend we hope for.
The road noise on 471 doesn't seem that bad at night to me but then my wife says I'm deaf. Concession the couple of times we passed it had very few hanging spots and we never made it thru to High...
All packed except cooler load. Trying to be at Lake Godwin by 11:00.
I won't be as early as I thought. Have a funeral in the AM.I will be in Thursday afternoon.
Going in earlier on Thursday. A good chance to stock up some wood and get set up.
Spent last night in hammocks, side by side with Savannah. Our first. She slept better than I until 4 AM when nature called her. Climbed back in her hammock and fought the covers for a while. Finally...
I made reservations for Thursday night also and plan to be there Thursday.
Is this it? Hello. Anyone out there? I thought there was talk of getting back in the woods. Felt that slight change in the air this morning. I'm ready. Are y'all?
You won't believe how many hanging spots there are. :)
At the stroke of midnight we secured the favored Gator Hole in Green Swamp West for the weekend of Nov. 11-14, 2021 for the beginning of the next season of hammocking in Central Florida.
Welcome aboard from Lakeland. We don't get started until around Veterans Day. There are a few from down south that join us here in Central Florida. We will be posting up some trips as the season...
The trailhead is at the Withlacoochee River and SR471. This is at the Polk/Sumter county line. Do not go through the locked swinging gate. Go through the rail fence at the Kiosk and follow the orange...
I'm bringing in my 12" DO and burner. It will be in use Friday afternoon but will be available for others at any other times. Doing up a pot of greens for Friday evening.
Toofies there are many! Some of them are secret. Join us at Gator Hole this weekend. Five years from now you will look back and appreciate the anniversary of this weekend. We are a good bunch of...
No sir or ma'am. El Gordo doesn't give many clues. This is in Sumter County just north of the Polk County line. We will be getting together out there this weekend.
