NEVER TOO COLD OR MUDDY The water wasn’t lapping over the dock the day before, but that was the day before.I lost the coin toss so it was my turn to take off my sandals, roll up my jeans and bite the bullet.The water is not only muddy right now, but cold as well!

Hollier reaped the benefits of the longer truck ride, wet feet and soggy jeans t...
