    More of the bear's epic struggle against the river before being swept into the rapids :









    And safety! It was pretty cool to watch this. Sorry for the poor quality, my phone was almost dead and the camera suffers when that happens.

    If you look at the worn-off date there on the bottom, it looks to me like 1610. That kind of artifact is fascinating to me.

    Hey, by the time you come up to do your Mountain Man trip, it'll be more of a condo than a cabin!

    I'm pretty tickled about the fridge running off the solar powered system. No freezer in it, though... and ice is pretty nice for the drinks. I'm kicking around the idea of a DC freezer of some kind.

    Most definitely! So cool! I'd get them appraised. I thought silver, with the green. Hmmm, Spanish galleons...

    Sharon is researching the coin, it's called "Pillars and Waves" and the date stamped is 713, meaning 1713 during the reign of Phillip V of Spain. The 'M' in the upper right corner means it was minted in Lima, Peru.

    Kinda cool!

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
