YES!!! Anything to avoid the crowds and chaos...lol!! And this is the BEST way in my opinion! Yes, we do have gators down here and I've seen them in this creek. I don't see them often, but I usually see a couple a year. Most are smaller on average than the ones in Florida or Louisiana.
@SouthernPaddler that's so wild that you have them. We don't have them up here so to us it seems probably worse than what it actually is. But we have so many sharks the guy from the Boston Aquarium said recently that if all the sharks jumped out of the water on our coast, bays, marshes, and rivers at once.. nobody would ever go in the water again! Lol. But we still go out there...i guess it's just what your used to or not used to that determines what scares the shit out of ya ! Haha..
@thepeacerunners Yep! Most everyone that I've seen has swam away immediately. A few might just sit still. Until they start coming at me, I have no problems with them. 😅
What a pretty camp site! Great to see those fall colors hanging on. Looks like a great trip!
Thanks, Dewey!! I was really surprised any color was left. We had a great time!!
Enjoyed the video. Lots of camping ⛺️ 😂. 😀👍✝️
Thanks, Rodney! Glad you enjoyed it. We didn't have quite the gourmet meals that you prepare, but it was fun getting out there!! 😊
That was a beautiful fall day....
Thanks so much, Garrett! It really was and we had a great time out there!!
Enjoy your day
Thanks, Dave! Merry Christmas!!
@@SouthernPaddler Merry Christmas
I wanted to get some fall camping in this year but didn't get the time. I'll just live it through yours! Good video as always!
Ha, ha- thank you, Wes! I didn't get to do as much as I wanted, so I was thankful to get this trip in!!
sharp editing!
Thank you, Pete!! And thanks for the suggestions!! 👍💯🛶😁
Love the video
Thank you, Kat! Despite the chilly weather, we had a great time!!
Wayyyyy better than Shopping!!!
Ha, ha!! Absolutely, Keith!! Thanks, brother!!
Ahh, we just missed you. I was out playing on the Cotaco that Wednesday all day with my dad. It was his first time in a kayak.
Aw man- so close! That's awesome he got out there on the water!! How did he do and what did he think about it?
@@SouthernPaddler He said it was one of the best days of his life. He is 76 so I guess that's saying something...
@@ValeryanPrimeThat's so awesome!!! 😊😊
That spot looks familiar🙂🚣♂
Ha, ha- I thought you might recognize it!! :D
I would definitely rather be camping than shopping on Black Friday. Looked a little cold, but a pretty spot.
Hey John! It was a little chilly, but not Utah chilly...lol!! We had a great time!! Merry Christmas, brother!!
Proper way to avoid shopping hell ! So similar to my "home" river up here! Great getaway! Do u guys have gators where you are?
