| | so this last weekend amadeus, mark and my self went camping at panther falls, it was amazing. we arrived there at dusk, and started scrambling to get camp set up while there was at least some light left in the sky. mark and i set up our ENO hammock tents in the trees on one side of the falls, and amadues set out his sleeping bag out on the top of a massive boulder on the other side of the falls. we got ready to crash at around 9:30 pm and thats when things got interesting, in our rush to leave nobody botherd to check the weather, a weather report that we would later find out read something to the extent of "SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS" this of course didnt phase me because over the past couple of years i have invested hundreds of dollars of my parents money into a rather impressive gear kit if i do say so my self lol, so i was dry, warm and comfortable, amadeus was far from that he was laying on the top of a huge boulder in nothing but his 80 dollar north face sleeping bag that did acctualy end up keeping him dry for the most part. so the whole night or the parts that i was awake for my mind buzzing as i was replaying national geographic specials on thunder storms and the statisitcs on people geting struck by lightning, (interesting side note your chances for geting struck greatly increas when you suspend your self in a tree on top of a mountain :P) so we all woke up early then next morning i found amadeus laying on the rocks in nothing but his long johns drying off lol, we had another motive on this trip other then camping we wanted to explore the area and as warm as it was outside the water was still cold, but theres an easy solution for cold water and that is a wet suit lol so as you can see in the pictures amadeus and my self are in wet suits to avoid geting hypothermia on our 5 mile hike down stream, unfortunatly we didnt get pictures of that because non of us have water proof cameras so yeah.... any way the two days we were out there were amazing i have some pictuers mostly of us jumping off the rocks but im going again next weekend and were going to try to get some more pics......
this is right befor i fell in the water
