Well we had another great hang in NC. We arrived Thursday to find one of our new hangers, Crappieyaker, had beaten us to the site, of course we were running late. Timberlake was there keeping him company. Timberlake just dropped by to help us set up, because he was in the area, and didn't stay to hang. Wasn't that just the nicest thing? PappyAmos rolled in next, and we got to setting up some stuff. Tacoma96 swung by for about 15 minutes and dropped off a load of firewood for us, and he came back around Friday night to hang with us for the weekend. DavyRay joined us for some fire sitting and hanging as well. Starfish_Comet came by and set up her site, and joined us again Friday after work for the hang. We had beautiful weather Thursday and Friday. Onebuttontoosexy and his lovely girl came in and hung up their ridgerunners. For noobies they did a great job. JBMundy and his girl decided to snuggle in 2 hammocks under one tarp down towards the water view. They brought their furry friend Carly, who found a way to slip her leash during the night and scout the camp to be sure we were free of raccoons. She did a great job too. Crappieyaker's lovely bride came in Friday night, and I'm pretty sure Thelma will be getting a complete hammock set up by Monday. She did awesome, and she loves hammocking, Yay!. Fibby, her guy and her furry friend joined us Saturday, and they set up in the rain, bless their hearts. Pyrahh1 and his girl came by during our little rain storm and hung out under the canopies for a bit. They were able to check out some set ups and get some explanations when the weather cleared. They stayed and had some dinner. Phantomgrappler surprised us by showing up Saturday. He showed us how to tie some useful knots. Hipbone and MtnGoat arrived Saturday around lunch, and stayed to visit until time for the gate to lock. There was a lot of good food and good company shared. Some very educational conversations went on about hiking the AT. We had one game of ladder ball before the rain cancelled play. Tacoma96 is still the top player. KingsFord and I loved hosting this hang, because we loved visiting with old friends, and making new ones. You guys are the best. We also wanted you to know we very much appreciated all the help with setting up and taking down, and help with the dishes. Thank you to all who got ice, and Crappieyaker for the waters and paper towels. Thank you Starfish_Comet for help taking down the bathroom setup, and for all you do. Thank everyone who brought food. Thank you Tacoma96, and Stubby for setting up Mexican night Saturday. We both appreciate that you wanted to give us a break from cooking. Thank you PappyAmos for all your help and for calibrating the drinks. Thanks DavyRay for the fire tarp placement. Hope to see everyone of you at a hang in the future.
