Thank you Harry. For some reason the tweezers are not showing. So there should have been 10. It's very nice to hear from you my friend!
The Potomac was into the moderate flood range today, due to heavy rains Friday and Saturday: 
This is the campsite where I stayed last November when I rode my bike there. The geese are about where my tent was: 
Momma Merganser has a lot to keep her occupied with this bunch: 
This brown blob is in reality a muskrat. You can kind of see an eye, ear and nose - he is facing to the left: 
Knife content: 
I had to go to another spot and go out to some rocks to get a good view of the river:

Besides the potential for environmental and infrastructure damage, it looks like the Porta Potty turned over, which is the real crisis here…
Loose Barges Come to a Halt in Potomac River
Dozens of people gathered to watch as a loose barge made its way down the Potomac River through choppy waters Sunday.

Aye mate... but the bright side ... you weren't inside ...
I believe the Arkansas is going to crest at 6" over flood stage this week.
I saw someone on a job site once pick up a Porta Potty with a forklift to move it, not knowing that some poor guy was in it, or bothering to check even. You could hear the guy hollering over the noise of the equipment…Aye mate... but the bright side ... you weren't inside ...

That's too funny. Years ago I was working for Chevron in the gas fields above Evanston Wyoming at 9000 ft and we were all afraid to use the Porta Potty cause one guy had gotten blown off the side of a mountain while he was in it. The wind was gale force most of the time.
Yikes! I believe you about the wind - I was driving through Idaho once and needed to relieve myself, but the rest stop was closed and there was no shelter from the howling winds. Imagine an atomizer, or carburetor, and you will get an idea of what happened.

That’s a cracking photo.
I love the depth and subtle colours.

Thanks, Johnny. Certainly one of my favorite places to hike near home, esp. early in the season. Saw a moose grazing on a hillside, but a little too far away for pic.

Inspired by the Earl thread I went for a walk in the rain,it was cold then warm at times.
I was looking for some colour.
The vegetation had realy grown since I was last there and was soaking wet.
I love those conditions though.
I was wearing a new pair of Altberg boots to break them in,the best boots in the world made in Yorkshire.
Stopped to make a hot chocolate in the rain,I forgot my glasses so it was all done by feel and instinct

Nice pictures, but if those are stinging nettles and multiflora rose I see, I am NOT a fan…

I've been neglecting this thread. Thanks for the encouragement.
There's a similar one on AAPK https://www.allaboutpocketknives.co...sid=a970492f261793d11dd0a3e9fee9c6c2#p1007395
I'll do better at getting pics up here too.

Hike this AM with a friend. Not too hot, but 95% humidity…. Had to wipe down all my blades after!
