Plus side is that y'all aint' complaining bout them skeeters too much. Really hated I had to miss this outing. As Hangnyak said it best, you all are a fine bunch of people to be around!
Thanks, richtorfla. It's not that hard, though; you just keep on keepin' on until the day is done. S'long as you have ten or twelve hours of sunlight, it isn't that bad.

And, Mike's right; the skeeters weren't too bad. I had a few the first night, but they were mostly absent due to the lack of standing water this winter. Honestly, those durned caterpillars were worse! And I did find one tick on my leg...but that's almost to be expected when wearing shorts down here.

Thanks, olddog. I appreciate you standing up and taking charge of this whole thing when others had to bow out due to real life concerns. Especially that water cache! We'd have had a tough time on Sunday without it, I think.


Great photos, emcee! I like the captions, too!
