Well, I believe last night makes 7 months. I've been too busy to go anywhere so I had to settle for the back yard. It was a cool, clear night so I just set the stand up. It was a great night's sleep. The stars were out, but I fell asleep too quickly to enjoy them much.

I added another 2 nights along the AT in NC this past weekend!
Got my hang in last night on a little backpack trip to the Greywolf River in Olympic National Forest. Beautiful weather; soothing river sounds. 9 for 9.
No picture hangs are about interesting as.
Sorry,figuring out how to post a picture isn't easy for a computer illiterate like me.
Ok I'm in as of April this year. We'll have to see how it goes as my wife does not like the cold, but being in GA, maybe we can find a not-so-cold night every month to hang somewhere.
April trip, April 7-8, Providence Canyon in South GA. https://goo.gl/photos/fnsD3CjpQ1yVsD1B7

We have our first multi-night trip planned for July, a three day two night 25ish mile hike from Three Forks to Heels Gap on the AT from July 14-16. Can't wait, updates to follow! Happy hanging!
I'm on month 5 of the challenge and going strong. June was a 4 day backpacking trip in the Sierras above Mammoth in southern Ca. Started in Agnew's Meadows - Thousand Isaland lake. Elevation started around 8000 up to 10,000 feet. Still a lot of snow patches..

10 for 10 in Harriman State Park last night! Plus, I did something I never thought I'd do--went to ground intentionally! I had a nice spot set up to hang, but another spot nearby was just too nice. Only problem was there was only one tree. Would have just slept on the pad, but the mosquitoes were too bad. Instead I set up my HH in "bivy mode" and it worked great!

Taking care of July 1 and 2 with a 3 day trip on a section of the NCT in Michigan's Manistee National Forest. Trip report forthcoming!
Dcolon and Michigandave, beautiful spots! Can't wait till tomorrow when I get to go to Scout camp for a week.

The soft white hush lapped the Northland and wrapped us round in a crystalline dream."
