    Hawk', you were the "host with the most". (Ya still aint right)

    For those who don't know, he spent a good deal of his time awaiting arrivals at the roads edge and making sure everyone was 'good to go' before exhaling and enjoying himself.

    Dude, you pulled it off

    Kudos

    ...I still want details relating to the picture of you with your knife drawn on Happy Camper

    Once again, it flew by like the wind.

    Thanks again. You know I had a great time

    All I can say is, thank you. I met some great folks, I'd hike/hang with any of them again. The generousity, kindness, and all around welcomed feeling of the people there was just amazing.

    Take care my friend, and I'll see ya' at the next one.
    Hey ... wouldn't be the same without the boys from western NC!

    Thanks Hawkeye for the incredible hang! You went the extra mile especially on windy Thursday by crawling out of your nice warm hammock to perform safety checks.

    Thanks a Billion Hawk-Eye!

    For my first trip hanging in the Gorge, I am in awe. What a wonderful place to vacation.

    Thanks so much for the wonderful time and your efforts for organizing really paid off for everyone Hawk-Eye.

    I am already planning on the May hang in 2011.

    Posted some pics here and will get the video out soon.

    I so wanted to go!!! Sadly, it was a choice between going there or Mt Rogers, so,,,,,,,,,,

    Looks like all had a great time!! I now regret not going even more, but I'll save up for next year for sure!!

    Hickory: falling in the creek & torrential rain is one of the reasons I now have a waterproof camera, I figure if it can stand being underwater to 10' it can stand me falling into a creek or a "little" rain. Sorry, I got no cure for a wet lighter, but I do keep a mini Bic in my zip lock first aid kit as emergency back up.

    I think my favorite views were of the campsites where NO tent could possibly get, & "We" had over a dozen campers in comfort.
    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
    PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.
