Swamp tour I took outside NOLA back in 2008 - I really thought it was gonna turn into a "Here, hold my beer"/Darwin moment:















It didn't - thank God. Turned out the guy really seemed to know his gators!

A quick trip north of Santa Barbara to Cold Springs Tavern - an old stagecoach stop and a heckuva place to grab a burger:

Nice Cold Spring Tavern pics David. The place and many of the surrounding roads are favorites.

Took my drone out for a walk and a fly today to an old Farm house I've visited a few times over the last few years and was surprised to see it burned to the ground.
A sad but not unexpected end to what was once someone's pride and joy.

And no, I did not torch it!!

Interior July 2016


Upstairs


Prior to fire, being eaten by blackberry brambles


Post fire hole where a home was


Furnace, sinks, bathtub and a pile of chimney bricks are all that's left


Outbuildings survive


Almost consumed by the relentless non-native blackberrys


Drone driver eminent
