Boy, my crown land pernits cost the same as the parks I thought. Miss Molly, I hope your emergency turned out ok. Your such a great adventurer. |

07/16/2017 09:33AM It wasn't all rough roads. One of my favorite lakes was right beside the road. I parked my car behind some trees 20 yards from the highway and the lake was five yards away. I was last there about eight years ago and it seemed like no one had used my campsite in all that time. I love that campsite. It's the knoll of an island with big trees for shade and a fine view. Unfortunately, I spent too much time watching the wind whip the water into froth. At least the lake was small enough for me to fish here and there. |

Any of your buried truck? Sorry you had to cut it short in that manner. I worry about that kind of thing happening to me. Especially when I see a float plane. Thanks for the write up. " Here are couple pics of the rescue. I think I'm more of an idiot than an adventurer. There were times the ride was violent. The water wasn't a big deal. I drive through lots of water longer and deeper than that and cross streams too. It was the quality of the clay. I literally sank up to my thighs. |

07/15/2017 08:21PM I enjoyed reading your report. I'm sorry that it ended like it did. Maybe someday you can attempt it again. |

07/15/2017 04:54PM Enjoyed your misadventures by cavalier and clay; sorry they ended the way they did. I've had way too much of the hospitals/funerals thing lately. That's not fun at all. I hope you can get back out there soon. |
