Yeah, it's mine. I remembered as we got to the car but had to get home to the kids.

Great get together, with a great group of people! I just made my first whoopie sling, the workshop was very helpful. Good times had by all!
For my first hang in a hammock and my first group hang it was a wonderful experience. I met a lot of great people, some with more then just hanging as an interest. I wanted to thank all of you for making this a wonderful experience.
Now am I fully converted? I'd say about 2/3rds there. I would like to try out a few more hammocks before I find one I really like. I got to try a modified Grand Trunk ATHH and a Black Bird. Each one I was able to sleep in. However I had a few problems with each one.
The ATHH was ok, however I had a negative pressure mat (self inflating) and that kept sliding through the night. My -10 bag kept me warm so no problems there. Also since I am a human furnace when I sleep helps too. Though the hammock had condensation on it when I woke up laying on a spot with no mat. Also I was no informed that I am supposed to sleep with my feet elevated, so I was reversed. Also I had a hard time trying to sleep in a diagonal position and my feet would occasionally stick out of the hammock. Otherwise I work up refreshed and full of energy.
The Black Bird I tried next and I found I liked the deepness of the hammock, no longer did my feet stick out. I attempted to sleep with feet elevated but I believe I was strung up to high as I could sleep comfortable so I reversed position. The Hammock was nice but I am not sure it was for me.
I need to look for a hammock that is deep, and lets me sleep on my side I think. Suggestions are welcomed.
Thank you all once again for all your help, friendship. I look forward to seeing all of you again and meeting others.

For certain, you have to be lost to find a place as can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was.

I just added a bunch of pics to the gallery.
Thanks for the pics, Bug Bait, Knotty, and 2Q.
.. truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.

Hey Scottish Pirate
I really enjoyed talking to you at the campfire on Saturday night. Tagalong and I had a realy great time, and we are plan on going to the Spring MAHHA. I have always been a side sleaper, and when I first started to sleep in a hammock I was uncomfortable. After a few nights I found myselfe being verry comfortable sleeping on my back. My Warbonnet BB is very comfortable and I find myself sleeping on my left side alot.
Take care and God bless
