Report
Nothin' say's it better than pictures and video. This trip started off a little rough and rainy but we had hope for good weather. It was also JB in the Wild's birthday trip. The music provided on the video was written and performed by Phaedra (Glory Muse). I hope you enjoy as much as we did!
