windsong,
Thank you for a real treat of a story. I will always be glad to help naturist such as you.
Of course, I am on the edge of my seat wondering (!) what was the height of snow at DCHS ? (2) How high was the creek ? (3) Was the hike in and out worth it ? (4) Was your van OK when you returnded ?
Windsong is a magical place in Tallahassee Fl. ,my home town. It is a nursery turned bird lover santuary. With every concievable contraption for a bird lover. Not unlike you.
Also, thanks for taking my advise and posting here. Post again PLEASE !
