So here I sit in a motel in Grayling MI. I drove up today, 3.5 hrs, and headed over to Luzerne, a little east of here. I set up my tarp and hammock at Parmalee bridge state park, I was the only one there. I decided to drive into Luzerne to grab some dinner and when I got back my tarp was still there but my entire hammock rig was gone! Straps, UQ, bugnet and hammock. Fortunately I hadn't put my sleeping bag in yet. So I decided to just head home tomorrow. I had planned a three day solo paddle down the Au Sable, but I guess it was not meant to be. What a drag However a proper T-storm blew in when I got to the motel, so the good news is I missed that. So there's my tale of woe.
