About an hour after I had set it up, a Park employee by the name of Ed (he lied to me when I asked his name, he said his name was Tony but another Park & Rec employee told me his name was Ed) driving one of the city park gators, came up to me and pulled his knife out and began to cut my hammock down.

Overall one of the best parks Tucson...
