Log bridge progress

The first pic does not include the GG. Why not? Because he was not on the bridge (over Cole’s Creek in the yooperland). Why was he not on the bridge? Because he FELL OFF! THREE TIMES! As you can probably detect, it was “winter”. Not technically winter. It was November but it was in the yooperland where there is often snow in November.

The water wasn’t over his head but it wasn’t ankle deep either so he was cold and wet. He made a quick exit and high-tailed it down the trail as fast as possible in order to stay warm. Cell service allowed his companions to call a rescue car and the rescuer arrived with some spare (dry) clothing from a thrift store, including a Blue Jacket. Blue isn’t a color he would choose for himself and the beach urchins and I were a bit perplexed when we saw pics of him in the Blue Jacket until we heard the whole story. I would note that he still has the Blue Jacket and even wears it from time to time.

Yesterday he sent the second pic, which is a successful crossing of the log bridge. September this time, no snow and warm weather.

P.S. I got my ballot today.

    Vote Blue! I remember the story of him falling off the log in the cold and am glad that he navigated it successfully this time. No matter what the temperature, getting wet is NO FUN.
