We made breakfast and packed everything up and were on the trail by 9am. We wanted to get up to the top before the heat started picking up. Had to start by going up the mountain, probably gaining 600-700 feet. Not too bad when you were fresh. The top was really cool, just plains of blueberries.
The one thing we did notice about this area was the amount of "wetness". Everything was damp it seemed and even though its been a largely drought like summer there was still mud and marsh like areas. I can't even begin to imagine what this place must be like if it was really wet. It must have some natural springs that feed it I would assume. Here is a sinkhole we had to cross...
Got to the second camp shortly after noon, not as nice as the previous site but it would due. Got everything setup and took an hour long nap. After that we headed out to Lions Head which is a rocky outlook a mile away. Some good views, but no pictures right now. Only took my brother's camera. Heading back down Scott fell when he leaned against a rotted tree. Ended up getting himself pinned between two trees and stuck. I thought it was funny as hell, he ended up with a few scratches.
We also caught some crayfish for an appetizer... yum! A little small but tasty.
Scott of course had his one match test that he was determined to pass. He spent a long time getting this ready
And how did it go? Well he says it was one match, I say it went out. You make the decision... (sorry its a little dark but the audio is worth it).

That is a pretty funny video!
I can't believe you caught crayfish and ate them! Ugh! The video is classic Jim and Scott. Glad you guys had a good time.
