All I can say is WOW! This was our first hang and it was certainly an awesome weekend. By Sunday, I felt as though many of the forum folks and families we met were like extended family. I can't imagine a nicer bunch.
My daughter kept asking when we'd be doing it again. That is HUGE for a 10 year old. She's usually bored with camping activities within the first few hours. This was not only Claire's first weekend out on a hang, but literally her very first weekend to spend nights in a hammock. She LOVED it!! However her favorite activity involved the lighting of the Swedish candle and colored flames in the bonfire that Allen did or did not start.
To make a great weekend nearly perfect, I took home the amazing UGQ Winter Dream tarp with pole mod!!!!! I cannot tell you how much we love that prize. I admired the UGQ Quilts and Tarps all weekend long and will be probably be ordering more from their website. Their products are beautifully crafted.
I cannot remember to name everyone we were able to speak to and get to know just a bit, but it was wonderful to meet the Wannabee's, Curtis, Slinky & Max, Old Gringo, Caveman, Brute, Corncob, Brandi and family, Sarge & many many others. Uncle Mike and firends whipped up a mean breakfast taco bar to feed an army of hungry hammackers. A special thanks to Pinenut and his generous family for taking time on Sunday to show me how to work with amsteel before heading home!!
We'll be looking forward to meeting up with friends old and new at the next Texas Hang!
