Beautiful Paul, good afternoon!
it is so dry up there. it's like a desert and when cars drive down the road you can't see its so thick. so much dirt in everything, tents, sleeping bags etc...really big for white water rafting and rhododendrons!

I’m glad you and your family are having a great time, remember, rhododendrons are for after the kids go to sleep.

it was for the white water rafters. kids thought there were a lot of skunks in the campground. apparently this is hard core rafting adrenaline peeps. We just happened to get a campsite there. it was not the best for kids with showers and bathrooms etc...so we opted to not shower and someone happened to bring their own pop up porto potty. But closest the kids got to real camping. not this glamping stuff. only backpacking would be next. but I really would prefer a nice hot shower daily.

Sorry, busy week last week but it was awesome. So much of my family was there and it was awesome. I helped around the house a lot because we had a lot of things to get done, and 16 mouths to feed almost the entire week. I got to spend a lot of time at the lake though, water skiing, boating, jet skiing and fishing. We just drove back yesterday. Oh, a cool thing too, I actually found a coral fossil in the lake, roughly 200-400 million years old. The tank looks great, only casualty was the head of the torch that has looked weird forever.

Great to hear, sounds like a great trip! Where are you all getting videos of John?
 
What season Tim?
The one that just ended. We've seen every episode of Alone. Working through Alone Australia season 2 now.

Starting Australia season 3 tonight. I decided to watch it after the main season of Alone was over so I don't get all the contestants mixed up again lol
 
Love Fargo, the last season was awesome! What number is the last season John I’ll have to check? The last season of Alone I watched was earlier this year.
Season 5. It had the Sheriff as the main character. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it
 
I’ve been a sci-fi nut job since I was a kid and a Halle Berry fan since a young adult. My wife is just like yours!
I completely support that Kevin. You know the wackier, the better to me
 
Ill keep it quiet unless anyone hasn't finished it, but that was one of my favorite Alone reveals ever!
"What about the kids?????"

IYKYK (that's"If you keep your kids" for you older reefers)

Saw it was probably my favorite. Is was so weird hearing Dot speak with a Minnesota accent since she’s British. She had such a thick British accent in the series Ted Lasso I had to stop and rewind so I could understand what she said. Minnesota nice is a thing.

I hope you and the family are having fun brother

I thought it was funny how they explained Minnesota nice before the first episode.
