Two Days of Exploration
Have you been wondering where I’ve been? Well, I’ve been deep in the swamp, exploring places that are so remote and treacherous, that no one before me has returned to tell about it. The first day, I had to backtrack because I couldn’t get through all of the fallen trees and there was no clear … Continue reading
April 4: Exploring the Swamp
I spent about 5 hours in the swamp on April 4. The sun was pretty warm, but there was a cool breeze coming across the water, so I wasn’t super motivated to be wet and naked. However, I got in deeper than I meant to while checking out the scenery. The sad thing is that … Continue reading
