    Oregon 3rd Annual Winter Hang

    Great winter hang up here in the Pacific Northwest.. The Cascade range once again played host to the Oregon Winter Hang.
    We arrived at various times Friday and set up camp.
    As the fire wood pile grew so did the crowd.
    The snow was there, but not to deep, in fact we could put our stakes right into the ground, but with temps dipping into the low 20's it was still a winter hang!
    Some came and some left on Saturday, but the spirit of hammock hanging was as bright as the sun. Naps and hikes were taken and some lolly gagging out on the lake.
    Saturday night a smorgasbord of camp food hit the table and then a real fun white elephant gift exchange around a roaring campfire capped off a perfect day.
    Then off to the warmth of downy goodness in the hammocks.
    Sunday was your typical pack up, drink coffee, and hike out kinda day.
    In short.. a great hang!

    Can't wait till next year!

    Great vid/TR, Jerry!! Love it.

    We SO enjoyed getting to HANG OUTside with everybuggy! The snowy woods, though thinly blanketed, delivered another EPIC adventure. Frog lake was stunning, Mt Hood, spectacular, and that glorious SUN!! WHOO-DILLY!!

    We got 23 degrees Fahrenheit Friday night and 24 degrees Saturday night. Had a couple cold rumps and legs Friday night, but everybuggy got dialed in Saturday, making for a mighty fine finale.

    I've uploaded some pics from the hang. Didn't get enough of the group, because I was too darned occupied with havin' FUN!! (Sorry about that.)

    Pics are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/1268576...7639949994446/

    Thanks for all the fun, everybuggy! Extra special thanks to GaryR for setting the hang up, SMJerry for luggin' out the trash, our wood elves for all the warmth, the food elves for the mouth watering, awesome tastiness, the white elephant elves for the usual RADness, and Nitro for all the tail wags and smiles!!

    Hope to see y'all, again (sooner than later)!!
