Smoky Mountains Hammock Camping Trip

Hey guys, i just got back a few days ago from a camping trip with my tacoma. A buddy and i went to Chilhowee mountain, near Ocoee, Tennessee. At the base of this mountain lies the Ocoee River which is home to a great deal of rafting, kayaking and tubing. On our way up the mountain we found a clearing that overlooked part of the Ocoee river and i just couldn't miss this photo-op
Further up the mountain overlooks a large part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After finally getting up the mountain, it was time to set up camp. Getting to camp at 3:30 in the afternoon was a major setback but all was well. Thankfully we found some dead trees laying on the side of a trail we took to get to camp. After we get our campfire going, we now set up camp around 6:00 pm. After a good camp dinner, it is dark and we get in our hammocks and try to go to sleep. Mother nature had different plans..... being that chilhowee mountain is in southeast tennessee, humidity was at it's max. Overnight the humidity was about 70-75% and the temperature was 84 degrees, it is safe to say that me, or my friend were unable to sleep well that night. The next morning at 5:30 AM i wake up and the sun is just starting to peak through the trees at camp. My buddy is finally asleep in his hammock so i hop in the good ol' tacoma and go for a morning trail run. After a good hour and a half of mountain trails, i return to camp, and sleeping beauty is up cooking breakfast. After a night of little to no sleep, little energy and little motivation to do anything else, we pack up camp and head back to Georgia where we belong.

I'm kinda into Photography, so here a few of my tacoma pics in the woods...
