    Amazing and beautiful areas there, Leo. I'm lucky enough to live in the northeastern of Arizona, in a forest, close to fishing. It is quite the life. Thanks for sharing the adventures.

    So beautiful & peaceful I could stay there for hours but not fishing. I don't have the patience for it. I would be aggravated if I didn't catch anything. I don't do real well with stuff that aggravates me. Beautiful camping spot good luck when you go fishing.

    Well Leo, where there is life there will follow death which feeds life. You are correct in saying that you can't get away from it. That's quite a staircase they built to access the baby grave. Good job pointing out details. Thanks for the river camping tour. Love your little vehicle.✌♥️

    My aunts & uncles and cousins lived right on the banks of Tug river in Lovely Kentucky. There was a swinging bridge that went over to my Aunt Lean house on the West Virginia side. During the floods the bridge n their homes where washed away. They would just rebuild. Family was coal minors & electricians in the mines. Family lived all over the place, Inez, Warfield , Naugatuck n so many more I can’t remember. Love watching your videos, brings back so many memories

    Wow ! Sure amazing what 56 years can do to the nastiest river in East Kentucky . In 1967 as a Southern Bell lineman in a crew heading up a road north of South Williamson . We had the good fortune to wait in line , while a coal company blew a sludge pond off the top of a mountain . We were able to watch a wall of black sludge pour down the mountain , hit the road , trees and all , and crash into the Tug River . Bet that killed some fish I said to a road employee , naw , reckon not , last fish in that river floated up after the last time it caught fire . This is a true story .

      She's about as clean as it gets these days. I'm sure there were a few isolated incidents and accidents from time to time, but with no real industry nearby, It didn't do too much damage to recover from.
