    VIDEO: Water Monkey 100 Mile Hike Parts 2+3

    Many Parts coming up so I'm going to try to condense these threads into blocks instead of a thread for each part.

    A&D ointment will save you from the funky monkey trunk junk I used to have an issue, but I swear by the stuff now.

    Thanks for posting.

    My monkey junk funk seems to flare up in hot environments but I was able to keep it at bay after that day. Always seems to be much better in the morning after a good cleaning with wipes I bring with me. I've tried gold bond but not much better results. I actually used some of my triple anti-biotic ointment one day and it cleared it up within an hour!

    That Brooke crossing looked like a bunch of fun. Did you happen to catch any tick hitchers?

    Onward to part 3!

    I bet if you would have stayed at that widow maker site you would have earned the name "Splatter Monkey" for sure.

    Also, that millipede is a Apheloria virginiensis.

    Thank you for the vicarious hiking experience. A good learning point from a newbie perspective, Beware of the Widow Maker.
