at the end where we saw that big thing jump
in the water last night. Yeah. And we're going
to go down there and check it out.

of see our campfire smoke just lingering.
There's our camp.
That's half of our island. We're in that little dimple in the middle,
and then over there is the rest of it
We went that route for
the ease of not having to climb a mountain to get up
to our camps like that's the tire that it looks and
And I exaggerate so not a mountain. We have kids and we're old
Someone didn't spill their Pepsi yesterday.
They wouldn't be in here.
