Lane those pictures make me want to kick my shoes off and join in the fun. You are lucky to have been brought up in such a beautiful place. I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to have your own creek to play in. I was raised on a city drainage ditch bank where we had turtles, snakes, eels and crawfish to amuse us, a nice clean creek seems like so much better a setting. Enjoy your trip and all the memories that it will bring to mind.
