I first found that area in March 2003, it was just logs. I came down Sandy Ridge , crossed with my 2 dogs and had a nice walkabout, upland forest.It is not visited much except by a hunter. Well time to cross back the Jack Russell has no problem but the Great Dane would not go. What are you going to do but bite the bullet. Boots and socks come off, leash on the Dane, boots over the shoulder, pick up the Jack and drag the Dane through the freezing water. My feet were ivory white with blue veins, now a nice memory. I will have to go back before tick season.
