Stranded on North Fork Road
A few notes as you read about our ‘adventure’. We weren’t taking photos as it was happening. All photos taken were after we knew rescue was imminent, or even later for illustration purposes. Until we knew we were safe, our focus was survival; although we never actually used that word. “We’ll get through this together” was said many times, ( Read more... ) -

It was constantly my kayak that was slipping off. The borrowed kayak was ( Read more... ) -

I had tried to find a few other challenging caches, but one had gone missing, and the other was up a tree I wasn't prepared to climb.

Holiday Music
