I love camping with my husband, but there is something special when a large group can get together to backpack into the woods and share a weekend together. For Cortney's thirtieth birthday in August, that is exactly what we did. Cortney and I are perfect backpacking partners and have already done several trips in the North Carolina mountains this past year - one to Joyce Kilmer, and one to the top of Mount Mitchell. Apparently the boys don't like the uphill hikes (though that never stopped us!)
The location was Wilson's Creek, a hop skip and a jump from Aaron's folks' place in Lenoir, North Carolina. Wilson's Creek is well travelled, often crowded and has tons of camping spots. We had been there once before, but this time we were with about twelve people and we hammock camped. I swear I always sleep better in a hammock than on a little inflatable air pad. Perhaps I need a new pad...GEAR TIME! Ok, here's the video version of the trip:
