@@TomyHovingtonHiking you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor videos also

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Oh man, this is making me homesick. I need to get up to the meadows.
Unfortunately, I did something to my knee when I was biking the other day.
Took my dog for a walk around the block yesterday and was limping by the time I got home.
No hiking for me for a bit.
How were the flies?
The horseflies come out when it gets hot.

[@TomyHovingtonHiking]

The mosquito were the worse although I had a few horse fly friends. They didn’t really bothered me until I stopped for water.
I didn’t have any bug repellent either so it could have been way better.

A man, seeing that lake is really making me want to fish.

[@TomyHovingtonHiking]

You wouldn’t believe the amount of fish jumping at the surface! Kwai lake had the most action for sure...
