It was time to go out on my long awaited backpacking trip with a hammock. Plan 'A' was for us to go on a quick, one-night visit to Hercules Glades Wilderness. When Ginger decided she wasn't going, I quickly came up with Plan 'B' which transformed the quick one-nighter into a solo three-day, Friday through Sunday trip. [55 Pictures and lots of words]
