Randy,

Absolutely great article. I'm still shivering after a day on your Croton; especially after the little dip in the river. Your "intruders" remind me of a time some yahoo, in size 14 brogans and bib overalls, came walking right down the middle of the stream loudly asking why the fish weren't biting that day. Had to go back and re-read the piece and when that happens , IMHO, means it's a "keeper!" Keep them cards and letters comin'.
