A River Adventure

I'm surrounded by hundreds off biting ants, crouched on a log because they seem to prefer the ground. It's raining...again. The forecasts...

**Catch up from 9/1** It's hard to believe it's September already. I'm behind schedule, but have pretty much let that go. Still, it's...

Two days ago, Hank learned a tough lesson about messing with the local wildlife. Amazingly, he sat there and let me pull each quill out....

Just a quick post to let everyone know I'm okay and made it across Fort Peck lake, though not uneventfully. I'm going to work to add the...

Passing through Loma, MT now. This may be my last post for a while. The upper Missouri river Breaks are supposed to be epic, but not much...
