    In the News - Yates Place Hang

    At the last Yates Place Spring hang, a reporter from the local newspaper ( The Montgomery Herald ) stopped by and interviewed several hangers and took some photos of the hang. She told me she would mail me a copy of the new paper article when it made the paper. I kept checking and never saw anything so I figured the storey did not happen for some reason. Today I got a package and we made the front page. There are also an article in a Uwharrie Bound 2016 Guide that the newspaper published.

    Well lookee there! You guys are infamous, er, I mean famous! Gunner, if you keep promoting hammocking this successfully, we are going to have to hire Shug and his multi pork butt cooker to cater these events. Bet he and Hotlips would have a ball trading recipes!

    I'm a legend in my own mind.

    I think we know what Sandman's favorite hanging position is. Reminds me of the old Kilroy was here images

    Smoked Butt Hang maybe ?

    Re: Kilroy - nose isn't big enough!

    Don't think we could get him to come that far east in NC. Then again, it is a very long ways from Minnesota to pull a pig cooker. However, he might know someone here he could borrow one from! Hmmm!

    Wow, I made the papers! I too thought it was forgotten, glad it wasn"t. I had forgotten what a good time I had there this year, this is a great reminder. Remember, beware of strangers bearing hatchets.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.
