Adventure pics!

I would like to share some cool pics of some trips I went on. I hope you enjoy them.
1st pic is where these framed pics hang at the end of my hallway.
2nd - Back in Jan of 2000 I think 3 friends and I went on a 8 day canoe trip thru the Everglades National Park, Florida. We had to make plans with the Park service for our schedule. Most 'campsites' are 12 x 12 raised wooden platforms with roofs but open to the elements. There is not much 'dry land' in the Everglades. It was mostly open bay type paddling either with or against the tides. Many alligators towards the last days. but it was paddle all day long to get to your next camp 'Chickee' as they were called.That's me with an alligator on the bank behind me.
3rd - A pic my friend Paul took on the Cossotot river in Arkansas that we went whitewater kayaking on back in the late 90's. Out in the boonies of the Ouachita Mountains. This is the 2nd time I dislocated my left shoulder kayaking. I had to drag my boat back to the campsite for about a mile after the accident. It's not like the movies where the tough guy dislocates a shoulder, punches it back in place and keeps on going strong. When it happens you are mostly done, out of action. I could not keep paddling. Resulting in another surgery.
4th - 2003 two friends and I went to Isle Royal National Park. An Island Park in Lake Superior. My two buddies took kayaks and i took my way to heavy Coleman canoe. Took the ferry from Copper Harbor Mi. About 4hr crossing of Lake Superior. I had to concentrate to not get sea sick. We paddled and went inland hiking also. Seen Moose, foxes, birds, mosquitoes but no wolves. That's me hiking on a wooden plank thru a marshy area.

Again fun times. Thanx for lookin!
