Here are some pics of my trip. It was gorgeous and we only had one brief early morning shower. These are pics of a suspension bridge that connects the trail to 150 mile long trail. The guy in black is my brother-in-law Paul.

Caught some crayfish and made Jumbalaya! Yummy! Thanks to the SLOB that left the old grate along the river......it was the only scrap of junk we found after 18 miles of walking. We brought the orange sack in with us and made a net with it. I found a springy bush and made the hoop and handle. I grabbed an old ash branch and made a wood needle for Paul to sew with. It worked good! We caught 20. We didnt bring tents, just 8 x 10 tarps, taht was nice and eeeeasy.

Paul wanted a bobber. So I found a dried up poplar branch and made one! I sliced the end to pinch his line and stripped some bark off a twig to tie it off. He fished a few hours with it and never had an issue. I made a few walking sticks for us just before we left. The taller is mine and its beech. Pauls is silver maple. They where a real life saver on the hills.

That looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun.  Paul sure can cook some good campfire food.
