That looks like fun Jesse! Wish I had about a week to come up and hang out with ya. I have a buddy that's an MSHA inspector. He's located a quarry down around Temple, TX that's got a mountain of perd cobbles ten inches or bigger. Gonna go check that out - he says it's about useless for anything but we know what it's useful for ;D. Goes for about $8.00 a ton ::).

I went way south today and got a little horse creek.. my creek was flooded so i did not get much.. i tried to find Buffalo river and dover on the way home but just got lost in the T.N back woods... dirt roads and no road signs that was intiresting.
Hope it works out Cowboy!

That Horse Creek is some pretty stuff. We need to try and plan another run into Ga. ;D
-
Cool rock, Jesse. That's why now is a good time to hunt rock-dope won't grow in the winter and it's too cold for barrels of mash to work and ferment. ;D
-
Good point hillbilly :)
Eddie i'll pm you.
-
Man, if you have your own source of Horse Creek, you are one lucky SOB. If you try to buy that stuff, it goes for about 5 bucks a pound. And I've seen what you can do with it. Great stuff.

Thanks for sharing the pics Jesse, I'm jealous of the short sleeves, although last saturday it was so warm ice fishing I had

Swampbow and Parnel were at the house this weekend. Parnel and I were in Flip-flops Sunday with maple leaves falling like it was Fall.

Leaves dead from the freeze eddie? Sure hope yer greens survived :)

Yep, the freeze. Collards made it and the mustards just got spanked a little. The Pineapples didn't fair so well, though.
