While the photos don't show much, this was a bit of a challenging trail. Trail started almost immediately by swimming ACROSS Dunns Creek. If that wasn't enough fun, the "beverage stop" was a cooler anchored in the middle of a creek which you had to swim across in order to get a beverage. GREAT STUFF!

Friday, 08/22/08 (48 photos)Deep Swamp River Exploring with CJ and Christa

One time a day just wasn't enough for CJ and myself -- with a storm like this only coming so often we thought we should go back again for another look.

With that hour and a half break we took the river rose even more.

We also so even more spiders than before. I don't know if it was because we were now on the lookout for them or if it was just because they decided to say "hi' to us or what...but we found some pretty big ones for sure! The last one is almost as big as my hand!

Friday, 08/22/08 (29 photos)Deep Swamp River Exploring with CJ

Well, CJ wanted to go back out since she knew the water would be even higher than the day before because of all the rain. What we didn't know is it would be THAT much higher! The river really rose and almost encompassed the entire back swamp now. Great stuff!

Thursday, 08/21/08 (23 photos)Swamp River Exploring in the Backyard with CJ, Christa and Cayman

The girls wanted to go "swamping", so I led them on a trail in the backyard to go and see the creek. We never really found the center of the creek since it was so swollen with water from all the rain. Still lost of fun.

Monday, 08/11/08 (5 photos)Date Night at Fernandina Beach

We went out to Fernandina Beach to enjoy a picnic while enjoying the sounds of the waves and the cool breeze. It was very, very nice.

While out we encountered a Mr. James Skirven who is a local to the area. He was nice enough to share some conversation and time with us while we ate. It was a joy to talk to him and his company seemed to definitely make our night much more enjoyable.

We stepped out for a quick hash last night. Good fun and exercise. And Cayman really appreciated getting out of the hosue.

Friday, 08/01/08 (3 photos)Kayak Fishing at Simpsons Creek

Go up at a lazy 7am and finally got on the water by 8:30am or so...kayaked 10 miles, saw some big reds tailing, but still caught absolutely nothing. Still better than staying him and doing nothing though.
