Did anyone happen to catch this week's episode of 'Man vs. Wild?' His wild and dangerous adventures were in Alabama. Seriously? I might have to call BS on this one. Sounds to me like someone broke his shoulder a couple months ago and has decided to take the pansy way out of things. I think those of you who live here, camp here, and have spent your lives here can safely say it's REALLY not 'man vs. wild' worthy. On top of it all, he was in Little River Canyon. That's where we go camping. I've yet to encounter a wild boar, forrest fires, or need to make a rafting tube out of sticks, random pieces of styrofoam, and an old tarp I have to fish out of the water (while stripping down naked, mind you). Normally, if you need to get out of the woods in Alabama, do you know what you do? You walk about a mile or two in any direction, and you will hit a road. Or maybe a subdivision. Maybe even a nice Starbucks!
See here for the unnecessary happenings that ensue:
I tell ya, Bear is one lucky guy that some sand mountain meth-head didn't see him stripping down naked and take that as an invite to go 'deliverance' on him.
In addition, he kept talking about crossing some "swamp," (that looked like some shallow part of the river), and how dangerous it was because of all the alligators. Hey, Bear, we've got news for ya: THERE AREN'T ALLIGATORS IN NORTH ALABAMA.
In addition to myself, and the rest of the residents of North Alabama, this Birmingham News writer seemed to feel the same way:

Regardless, I have to say the silliness of it all made us laugh out loud the entire episode.

OK, that is hilarious. Kristina just clued me in that you have a blog. Happy to find it! Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
Love this post! Brian and I were laughing so hard that Corbin turned into old-man Harold on us and told us (from down the hall) that we needed to be quiet that he was trying to go to sleep. So Bear made you laugh while you watched...and we are still laughing living the experience through you!
