Backwater Mississippi and some gear…
This photo above was made in a cypress grove north of Jackson, MS. Some people may be interested in the rig. The bicycle is a Jamis Aurora Elite (I…
Hold on tight…
…getting GoPro cameras ready to ride around on the exterior of a high-performance aircraft. Hang on tight, little ones. Stay tuned… -Noah D.
Love and hate for things that don’t matter…
