WNC>9th Annual John Rock Hang: July 20-22 2018

[Trambo]

It rained last night, so I didn't want to pack up my wet eno. I am glad that happened, because it prompted me to rig up my super early Dutch bridge hammock. This thing has almost no time on it. I haven't perfected the lay with it yet, but I think setting up my UCR ridge line will help. If anyone has pointers with bridges, lets chat at camp. I will have a HammockForum flag flying with Trambo on it. It's Florida gator blue and orange!

I am finally packed up, as I had to ditch half of what I had planned on taking. I plan how I get food at the buffet, big eyes and little stomach. I had to sacrifice some things, because I am bringing my full out video camera package. If you see a guy with odd camera gear on the end of a 6 foot pole, that's me. I definitely want to shoot some video with Phantom about his knotless suspension, and hear a bunch of your stories.

I am excited, as I start the journey tomorrow morning as soon as I wake up.

I am still planning to be there before sundown Friday. I will be on my motorcycle. If someone could maybe allow me to stash my riding gear (helmet, jacket, pants, boots) in their vehicle. If not, I'll hike it in with me.

I should have room in my truck, but I’m not sure how to coordinate to unlock it for you. We don’t have cell signal at the site. Let me think about it.

Cajunracer, maybe if several of y’all arriving at or about same time can calibrate your arrivals to be simultaneous or thereabouts, maybe one of them can stow your riding gear.
If not, post your estimated time of arrival and possibly we can read your text—say when in parking lot on Friday around noon and meet you there around B4 sundown.
I’m sure something will work out—-otherwise if you hike up the mountain in your helmet and full gear—-Trambo can make a mystery video of space alien wolf-dog man narrated by Snwcmpr

Friday,when you are on your way, post here your eta and others on their way and us hill billy hammockers will magically appear in parking lot
——-if nothing don’t happen......LOL

[Cajunracer]

Thank yall for the responses. I have no problem hiking in then stashing the gear. I just dont want it to sit out there overnight.

Made it to the halfway point Loretta. Acceptable snack and a bath now 😂😂

Great things happen for a reason.

I dropped my phone underneath my car seat, and found my gourd! OMG, yes! Of course I only have a non traditional bombilla, but that's okay. I even checked the last grocery store in Brevard, and they sell the mate by the pound. I am elated. Now I can share the love. Tomorrow is going to be great.

[Phantom Grappler]

Yay, tomorrow is gonna be great
Trambo, her name was Serendipity....

Bad news fellas, something came up and I won't be able to make it this year. Enjoy a hot dog for me, I'll hopefully see y'all at the next hang!

[Phantom Grappler]

Bobo, lots of hammockers are gonna miss you and your rig with mini UCR tarp tensioners. If I my suspension called for tensioners—mini UCRs is what I’d use.

[Phantom Grappler]

I’m at Walmart and will be at camp parking lot around 630pm Thursday
Hope to be at Enchanted Forest B4 730

Cajunracer possibly send your eta Friday after you get rolling—-making it more likely one of us meet you & stow your riding gear?!?
