It was a great time with amazing people.
Some of the most amazing looking wilderness I have ever seen on this planet!
We were calling ourselves the Regulators and Jeff was Mr. Tunstall the whole trip.
Food, hiking, skills…and a basketball story I will never forget!
Hugh, Jeff, Wendy, Heather, Patrick…thanks for having me on this trip!

My wife and I really need to "go visit our daughter" which is basicly an excuse for my step daughter and I to go hiking somewhere around where she lives in Springville. Some beautiful country there in northern Alabama.
 
I used to live in Tennessee and have been to that area before

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Bro!!!
 
Excellent pics Reuben! Wow that really looks like a kickass time and a really cool area :thumbup: Not to mention hanging out with the mystic legend of the jungle, Jeff :D

Quick question, the ESEE hat with all the ventilation on the back, can that be found somewhere? Looks awesome for hot weather cooling.

Edit: Duhhhh, a little more searching and I found the hats. Never mind, ordering one!

Haha, glad you located one. I don't even have one.

Yes, Jeff hasn't been on the last two Jungle Survival trips with us, so I only see him a few times a year at his house or at shows. It's always a good time either way.

Cool pics, thanks :)

I grew up in rural N Alabama, but I never went to the Sipsey Wilderness.
I have been to Bankhead a few times though.
I was/am fortunate enough that my extended family has a lot of land, so I really never had to go anywhere.
 
I see you were on T209. Did you get to go 204a to the Big Tree?
Did y'all rappel something?
Haven't been there in a few years, and that trip made me start thinking of it as the tick capitol of the universe instead of the "Land of 1000 Waterfalls":D

A couple of friends and I used to do our "man camping" in what usually turned out to be the coldest week of the year past Ship Rock, and Eye of the Needle near T206 and where Thompson Creek hits the Sipsey.

No rappelling or big tree this trip.
Afraid of heights!
