    nice pics... love that clear water (we don't have much of it down here, and i miss the adirondacks and smokies). looks like you had a great time... thanks for sharing with us.

    Looks like a great trip, and the wings out there are a very nice touch I never would have thought of. Also I went too fast through the photos and wondered why you put bowdrill in as plant I.D. (durrrr).

    great post man, You sure do get out don't ya!

    The joys of bowdrill, just when you feel you've got it mastered, mother nature kicks your ass.
