Long time no see on here. But I did go to Congaree NP last weekend. Glad this area was saved from logging!

Another #youtube video drop - this one is a long one! I show you one of my most favorite areas on Mountain Island Lake!
I do some fishing too but couldn’t catch a thing!

Cannonball jellyfish on the beach taken with wide angle lenses.
One cool spotting from my Oak Island beach trip was this #cannonball jelly. These creatures were everywhere on the beach and in the tide. Floating with the current.
The poor jellies who got beached are tasty snacks for other wildlife!

Did a little exploring on my bike in the Lake Norman area and found this cool spot. Need to paddle board here!

I had to zoom 4x to try to get a good shot, so I'm impressed that this clip came out as clearly as it did. Here's my lunchtime #fishing buddy. I think we both got skunked.
If you don't spend at least half of your time on the river watching the wildlife, what are you even doing with your time?
I blame my lack of catching on spending time watching the wildlife.

Paddle board in creek with cooler on top of it.
Paddle boarding was a success yesterday! I used a cooler this time as a seat/storage place. It worked well, but would totally come open and spill all my stuff out if I fell.😬
So maybe new cooler time?

Maybe this will mean people will buy less junk they never use then throw away.

Here’s a good video to relax with. Spoiler alert: lots of pebble crunching noise as I walk on the beach!
Come explore Torrey Pines in #sandiego on this quick #YouTube video I made.

I’ve been kinda quiet lately, but that’s because I’m at the Tableau Conference in San Diego! Of course I also took time to explore.
Check out Torrey Pines State Preserve below.
