Glad everyone made it home OK - how did they do on the second leg of the compass course? It was not an easy stroll in the woods. 
That being said, I'm pretty sure I would have missed one of the markers if we didn't have help. It was a hell of a course!!! I'm really glad ya'll did that for us. That second section was nasty. Dead fall everywhere and on the steep side too. Didn't go as far as we wanted to because it was so rough. Had a good time. I'll put together a canoe camp out later. I'm in! Good - will be limited because of canoes and transportation, probably can do six . Lot easier to bring more stuff. This was a good one though. Alex had a great time too. |

Had a great time guys. Made it home just before 5. It was a fun trip and it was great getting to meet everyone and brush up on some skills.
I'll get the pics I took sent to bcaus3y this week so we can work on the AAR. There will be no AAR on the lemon brick ration bar after effects. 
I really think axl and Alex made the trip with the Nav course. Im really glad they made it out. Thanks guys. Hope we can get another one of these trips setup this fall. Maybe a little closer to GA this time, but as far away as possible from any walmarts, or cats...

That first photo is very unsettling. The old guy with the red hat (me) looks like he lost his ass or his diaper dropped somewhere and we all look like we're watching something very unnatural happening.

hey - I remember now. We were all standing there waiting for you while you were fucking around looking for your compass. Had to dump all your shit out to find it. |
