Johnny Panther Quests. Ecotours

Here is a link to a boat ride through the Shiawassee Flats on an incredible day. We had the rare opportunity to watch a beaver. In the old days I saw many, but now not so much. I've been Johnny Panthering for many years now and it never gets old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_59gAcA1s0

I've dreamed, wished, and pleaded all my life. Some have been achieved, granted, or fulfilled. Hard work, dedication, and tenacity have been intrumental throughout. I can never recall anything but giving thanks when I am out Johnny Panthering. For me it is a natural conduit to life's treasures. I sat out in the backyard pondering life last night. Looking back on love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Promising to never drink again after a Team Garage party. Dreaming of being the best motorcycle racer in the world. Pleading to hold on to the love of my life. Scars, stories, and lines in my face...

Due to technical difficulties I haven't been able to blog lately. Not that anyone reads this stuff anyway. We certainly have had some adventures out in the Shiawassee Flats lately and I have learned a lot.

Wow, it seems like I've been running WFO lately (wound flat out). So much to say. Here is a link to a video from yesterday Johnny Panthering. I will follow up with Bay City's also eventually. What an incredible afternoon shared with frinds in the Shiawassee Flats, and then downtown Saginaw. The images give me goose bumps and remind me of all the years spent out in the Flats on the 4th. Skiing, scars, and conception, I could go on and on. I am truely blessed to have been able to enjoy such a life (and still be here to talk about it!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fmMyiol8g8

We took the big boat out for the day Saturday. Cruising Ojibway Island and the music festival. Skiing down by Bay City, and eventually making our way back up into the Shiawassee Flats. It was an awesome day shared with old friends. The Island was packed. The beach by our old practice track near Bay City had at least thiry boats hanging out. I skied a couple of times and could barely walk on Monday. Following is a clip of the opposite extreme. A glimpse into an area few have seen or even know about. It was part of my latest "marathon trip" during a brief period of high water, headed up into the Shiawassee State Game Area. The best time to go is when you are breathing, but high water is an added bonus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYmEfHFEn08
