    Gator Hole hang 10-22

    Four people were there counting myself (old dog, big country and hangnyak).

    The weather was to die for. I'm very glad I brought the heavier sleeping bag. Temps to just below 50 during the night. I was barely okay. had to roll over quite few times when I got off the side of my pad. wore everything I had on top. should have packed my down jacket, but it got left out somehow.

    I used my sleeping bag as a shawl in the morning until my coffee warmed me up a bit

    Gator Hole is a nice site. Close water and lots of trees in the open. two picnic tables and a fire ring.

    Beautiful weekend! Couldn't have been much nicer than what we had for weather. Like Grinder I too wasn't completely prepared. Could have used my knit sleep cap and down vest. Had some others show up Saturday that were interested in hammocks and may eventually join our group in the woods. Hopefully many more of these wonderful weekends this season. Only 3 weeks until Grinder's Birthday hang at Isabelle Creek and reconnecting with a number of my friends.

    Wow...such a small turnout for such a nice weekend. I'm really bummed I missed it, but I got 12lbs of pulled pork and some home projects completed instead.

    This past weekend was the 50th Anniversary of the Florida Trail. There was a conference in Deland. Thursday-Sunday.

    Let me know next time you are hanging in FL

    Hey old dog and grinder, It's Sean from the group that came out on Saturday. Had a great time talking with Y'all and hope to meet up some other time.

    The weather was perfect. Found that I need to get an underquilt, will probably pick up the Costco quilt and work on rigging it up. Hope the weather stays awhile for more great trips.

    Great meeting you also Sean. Always good seeing young people out enjoying natures beauty. Looking forward to spending campfire time out there in the woods.
