deep woods exploring

Yes, I've been MIA lately. There's been so much going on around here that I've barely had time to check my email. So, that means, that over the next few days, I have TONS to share. It's all going to be a little out of order, but one of the best things that I ever learned when I used to scrapbook was that, if you get behind, start with the most current event and work your way backwards. And believe me, I used that piece of advice on NUMEROUS occasions. NUMEROUS. LOTS. Okay.

Chance and I took off yesterday afternoon on a little adventure. We've been trying to locate a few new places to hang out with the dog and fish. I've been nagging the boys pretty regularly lately about how they are never home and how we never do anything together anymore. School. Work (they both have jobs now). Bands. Friends. There's always something to do. So when Chance suggested that we take a little drive yesterday, I packed the dog, camera, and water bottles before he could change his mind.

And here's what we found.

It's an old dam. We had to hike through the thick, overgrown woods, past the snakes and bugs and I don't even want to know what else, until we found it. It was the coolest thing I've seen in a while. We only stayed there about a half an hour, because, as awesome as it was, the stench of the stagnant water was too much for me to take. And I can take a lot. Normally, stuff like that doesn't bother me. But it was bad. But it was also soooo cool.

I can't wait to go back. Preferably after a little rain.
