Anyway we got camp setup and went back to Fort Scott to tour the old fort.
Cell signal is kinda spotty here for uploading stuff.

Park seems really cool so far though.

My record for getting a photo to load is 26% before it stalls out. I must have tried 50 times so far.

Facebook messenger eventually gets stuff thru, I sent @ericbphoto a neat one he can upload if it trickles thru before we get to civilization.

I did crap today I have never thought of doing before... it's coming as soon as I get cell signal.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Officially made it through the creepy crawl with maybe 1 or 2 dings in the skidplates. Not sure of any undercarriage damage yet due to extremely poor lighting. No tears or cries were heard throughout. Manage to get in 5 minutes of the adult haunted trail at the end because 7:30 was when it switched over and we rolled out at maybe 7:35/7:40. I give it a solid 8/10 mainly for not being able to drive the trail during daylight to know for sure what exactly the terrain would be like. I think our marriage is solid enough for another 5 years now 😂

Undercarage is fine, the skidplates did what they are supposed to
