    Cold water up to the boys! No thanks! Hiking in wet undies and the chafing that comes from that! Yikes! LOL Cool threading the needle shortcut. Kind of reminded be of the backside of the waterfall in the "Last of the Dogmen" movie with Tom Beringer. Great meetup. Cool that Senior got to check off a bucket list item too. Shelter under the tarp. I hope you didn't get PTSD! Fun trip. Take care and have a great day.

    Crow I hiked part of Blakely Historic State Park on the Mobile/Tensaw Delta last week. Wonderful forest. They have camping but the park is just 1200 acres so it's better for day hiking or as a home base to explore the Delta.

    Mister and I got to meet Max and John at the RRG UA-camr meetup! Great guys! Loved the Folgers commercial. Oh man Cinderella! My favorite song of theirs was Nobody's Fool. So did you always break into songs if your kids said something that reminded you of a song? I do it to the constant irritation of the Rugged Mountain siblings! ugh the Nemo Tensor! So comfy but mine is currently being replaced under warranty. Make sure he knows they'll replace it! Super fun adventure Crow!

    I'm glad yall didn't go Super Bowl weekend... we did... it rained allll night Saturday and raised the river from 4.5 feet to 14.5 feet...we were heading back to the picnic area on the 209 (first mistake, should of backtracked ) and we had to cross that raging river to get to the 200 (second mistake and biggest mistake). We all made it safe, but it was very dangerous.. I'm making a video on it where I explain more on the story and talk about the dangers of fording rivers..
