No. SSgB and I loaded up and headed south around 09:30. It was wet, we were tired, and he had to pick up their camper trailer at my place and pull it home. Those were our/my excuses, anyway...

That ain't a forest, it's a gravel pit! If you like loose sand & gravel, it's kind of fun. The back 40 for bikes only is a bit of a hoot - high speed, banked curves.

Any idea when you'll be there?...

EEewww! Those floating box-thingies don't look at all like fun. The potential for broken teeth/facial bones/etc. seems high.
