Big and Little2194 viewsBig Jim is on the starboard and Little Jim on port.
(for Sandcrabs port and left have four letters)

Big Jim is my living history lesson for an area called Bumpass Cove. He can tell you waterfalls can be dangerous. Broke his back as a child falling from one, living up Patty Creek.

They are in pictured in California Fields, TN. Where there are more bears than folks. That's
because the Forest Service owns that area now.

CG 1275 Remembered2213 viewsTo the best of my knowledge and ancient memory, this was the first Coast Guard aircraft I flew on~1964, at Elizabeth City, NC.

I had just arrived from eight Years of AIMING HIGH, USAF. For this I gave up B-52s and an eight hour day.

ADF2181 viewsHis crew position is more like an instrument, Aviation Direction Finder. The reason for this title is his ability to rapidly ascend ridges I will only see from an aircraft, and find alternative trails when searching for "new" falls.

An excellent Woodsman I am fortunate to go waterfalling with.
