Twenty-five Facts About Me 

One of the suggestions for YouTube video creators to put on their channels is a "50 Facts About Me" video. I am too boring to have fifty facts to tell so I will half it.

Above: The day we went to find Panther Falls I found someone's nasty underwear left behind and frozen.  Take yer drawers with ya buddy when ya go! 

Above: Dana on a camping trip with Kenny in our very first camper at Rock Island State Park.  That is my very first pair of Lowa hiking boots on my feet.  I think this was our first camping trip to the Cumberland Plateau ever. 

Above:  me and Crystal in a tree stand on the bluff on our farm.  It sits above Moffatt's Creek. We were hiking today. I think this was early March.  

Below:  Kenny and Me sitting on the porch swing all hugged up. Our old house in Virginia on the farm.   We'd been doing yard work. I think I had been mowing all morning.  Thus the old dirty looking sneakers and the ball cap.  

It is fun looking back at some of these old photos.  I have forgotten some of the many things we did over the years, but the pictures bring back memories.
