    This looks fun. Hopefully I'll have my new hammock I'm making ready in time for this hang.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    If the stars continue to align I may actually be able to make it out for this.

    May I ask where this is? I’m a Carolina hammocker but my dad lives in Lake City and I would love to show him a group hang.

    The address for the trailhead is 10800 SR471. GPS is 28.2898, 82.0884. East of Dade City, Northwest of Lakeland. I-75 south to SR50 exit 301. East on SR50 to SR 471. South on SR471 to the Trailhead parking at the northside of the Withlacoochee River. Come on down. A correction. Google Earth shows the trailhead at 28.314876, 82.056180. Google Maps will lie to you.

    Seems that I will make it after all. I finished my new hammock with bugnet, suspension and true Black Bishop Bag at 8.4 ounces. I don't think I'll have a problem carrying my current hammock and this one to test this weekend. See y'all tonight.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you
