I decided to get married, so it seemed like a good idea to head out to the woods for an Arkansas style bachelor party. In that spirit, Padre, G-diddy, Nyla, MH2, Toots, The Captain and I all headed out to our Nation’s first National River for a few nights of fishing, floating, camping and other celebrations of freedom.

Some city boys from the NWA headed out to the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch for a few days of rock craft in the Spring of 2009. They found some fun and Grant found “the worst poison ivy ever”, which he promptly decided to use as toilet paper*.
*Slight exaggeration.
