On Saturday I had long ride starting with a journey out to Sand Island State Recreation Area to check on which camping sites there would support camping in my Hennessy Hammock.
The thing is, the sites have to have trees of the proper size with proper spacing. In Hawaii many places just don’t have trees as they are beach sites. It seems Sand Island has sites that have trees and site that don’t. The ones I like are…
B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B9 and C2, C3, C4
Those all had trees and seemed appropriate. The site I liked the best, bar none, is B9. That’s the one I’m going to try for – perhaps even for this coming weekend, though I suspect I’ll have to do it after I get back from the Big Island.
I dropped by to visit a friend this morning after picking up extra tent pegs this morning. Besides letting me know that I should visit San Francisco on my way to New York (a trip I’m not taking any time soon), she mentioned that a friend of hers bought a Hennessy Hammock based on her description of my purchase. Now I’m sure they checked it out and all so it’s not just based on someone’s impression of my impression, but it does seem they have a quality product. I’m really looking forward to trying mine for real!
This afternoon I’m off to visit another friend and learn about her trip to Rome, show off my plans for Mexico City and do a little bragging about my bikes and my hammock.
Aloha!
