Nicely done! Looks like such a good time. It's amazing how much stuff you can fit in/on a Fozzie with a bit of determination!

Thanks for the pics...

Determination is right! You can see it in the second photo! :lol:

Love the photos. That's some dense green forest!

ooo! Now I know what a crawdad is! Thanks for clearing up that long-term mystery. Now if only I could figure out what hominy grits are - and why you'd want to eat grit

 

[frogstar7055]

I live in the south but I'm a Yankee born and bred.
We don't eat grits.

 

[frogstar7055]

But I wasn't stuck,he gives me grief all the time because one of the three time I've got stuck he was with me when it happened.

HEY, I resemble that remark.

...but, my fathers family goes back in the south (TN, NC, VA, WV) for about 8 generations. Hominy grits have been there the whole time, I used to eat them at my grandmothers house when we were visiting, but I never really took to them, just kind of bland.

South=Crawdad
North=Crayfish

 

[frogstar7055]

I wrote crayfish at first but figured more people would know it as a crawdad.
