Why am I going to Alaska when this is so close to home? This was an awesome get away and I wanted to pass along a huge THANKS for all who were involved in setting this up! Really, really needed this escape!

Looks like an amazing trip. If I would have know about this one earlier, I would have made sure to tag along. Good job on the pictures and video from the drone. It really captured the beautiful emerald water contrasted by the spring leaf out.

Josh, the richland valley road was almost closed due to high water on the buff side and several trees down across the road that we had to clear. no one had been through there in quite a while. Richland creek was close and our deepest ford, but we got across it ok, but it acted as a filter to the locals in their pickups following us, they wanted no part of it , but the Buff was about a foot and a half too deep, I waded it and there was no way I was gonna bail off in it, but fortunately we had already cleared the road for the trip out.

Dave, I didn't get that one. He was already out by the time I got there. i'm sure someone in this group got the kodak moment, though.

Again, thanks for wading into the muck and getting the winch line on me. The way water was coming into the truck with the door shut I really didn't want to open it to get out
