You even went over the bridge.

The funny story is katina has a fear of heights and I don't like the mountains, so we're both have to deal with heights.

I don't like driving through the mountains, but she has me up in the mountains at grandfather, mountain and we're gonna look at some of the animals.

Looking pretty good, you want one again, scared of it.

No, but I just like look at that thumb.

They're beautiful this.

Yes, so down there is where that bear is mildred the bear and the other big bear the male bear.

How about we go down and check them out? How about you go so that when you get mauled to death, I can tell them where you went and what you did.

How about that? I think we should just go ahead and just look at just go down there, real quick.

Can you see what the sign is saying? Look at science says: authorized personnel take a good photo.

No okay! You are authorized we're not authorized.

We have a lake in the middle of our campground that has fish for catch and release.

It's a lot of fun and we are located on the north toe river in avery, county and north tow river is full of trout.

Okay, we are a perfect location for trout fishing.
