    As for the old guy, I did need a rest!

    It was all good Mohiker!

    Did anyone else get covered in nymph ticks? I had a ton on me when I got back to the car, no fun.

    I think Skygzr got into some Saturday. Thankfully I avoided all the chiggers and ticks. Maybe the Permethrin-soaked pants and long-sleeve shirt helped.

    The trip report is up! https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...68#post1518268

    Nice write-up, Skygzr!

    the trash was the worst I've seen on any trail. I'll tend to ignore a can or wrapper here and there, but this got so bad that we just couldn't bare to leave it.

    There's something wrong with someone who would trash a trail/campsite like we saw. I can understand dumping gear in an emergency but folks could have at least burned the trash in the established fire pit!

    Alright here is my limerick that I didn't get to share with the group:

    Walking the woods, my mind at ease
    Wandering about where I please
    By campfire light
    Zipped up tight
    Paradise hanging between two trees

    Awesome limerick Mohiker! I think you actually followed the rules! I was grateful to come up with something that rhymed,...at least a little; here's mine:

    I journeyed far and wide, seeking what was missing inside.
    The cities and lights gave no respite; would I find it in the wood I pondered and signed; I thought....I'll try!
    So oft I went and deep in the wood I stopped, and settled aside.
    And touching the trail, I found it there, it was freedom that was missing inside!
    Luck of the Irish? I think not! But with companion a plenty and a lighter soul, wandering the wilderness, aye, that I've got!

    I think I broke all of the rules....

    Enjoy the day
    Gideon
