Also built a bridge in hopes of making the aforementioned trail marginally less miserable.

    Be careful sharing secret camp spot pics. Geo guessers show up and they’re all like “so I zoomed in and noticed the infamous 83 spot spotted beetle whose range only extends 13 square feet in any given direction from this exact spot, but I wanted to be accurate instead of so loose with my guess, so I did some research on that exact cloud in the sky and compared it with what we know about this hyper local species of dandelion I can see in the far left of the second image, and I have it narrowed down to 12 square inches somewhere in western bumblefuck, Arkansas. I’m sorry I couldn’t get any closer, hopefully someone can come in with a better guess!”

      Damn it! Western Bumblefuck is one of my favorite camping places and you’ve gone and told the whole world.

        I’m very sorry. But to make it up to you I know a sweet little patch of land perfect for camping. It’s about halfway between BFE and You Gotta Purdy Mouf, just north of Cousin Fuck, Mississippi.

      I spent roughly 2 hours getting into geoguessing…

      I did some quick and easy ones, with like obvious signs and stuff. After spending 30 minutes tracking down flight info based on the time the photo was taken, I decided I didn’t have the dedication for such things and if I couldn’t figure it out in 2 minutes based on signs and landmarks, I’m okay with not knowing the exact location a picture was taken.

      Hats off to the stalker-level people who can pinpoint the specific 30ft area in a cornfield a video was taken based on time of day, the color of the dirt, a specific toad croak at 12m37s into the video, etc…
