I took a trip to Dog Slaughter falls deep in the Daniel Boone Nat. Forest. It was awesome and full of adventure.<\/p>\n

A few eventful moments<\/h2>\n

I arrived to the\u00a0campsite rather late in the evening and there was no daylight. Nearly loosing my\u00a0way we finally found the site just in time to keep from venturing the trail head too deep…
\nIt had been raining and everything was soaked. Luckily I brought dry firewood but we had no kindling. I had to improvise and as a last resort used TP to get our fire going. I fought the fire for hours to keep it going and it\u00a0was entertaining. I\u00a0did have a camp fire sufficient for roasting over sized marshmallows and that was great. However, I\u00a0failed to prepare and bring veggie foil packs so there was that… But I\u00a0did have some great food none-the-less.
\nThe next morning I reveled over the defeated firewood that was burnt to a fine white ash and marveled at how difficult that task had been. I\u00a0packed up the gear and prepared for the short hike to the falls. As you will see below, I\u00a0captured many photos to highlight my\u00a0findings and fun times.
\nThere was this moment where I\u00a0encountered aggressive hornets and Max and I took several stings… My best guess is that the hornets, like myself, lacked the morning caffeine fix and weren’t in the mood for unexpected visitors. That freeking hurt…<\/strong>

<\/div>\n\"Hornets<\/a>
\n^ Hornets Nest – Can you see it? We didn’t either…<\/strong>
\nEventually we came to our destination and had an absolute blast playing in the falls. Overall, a very successful journey and absolute fun.
