Crayfish, creekbanks and lost childhood
15 years ago
General
Me an Puppet went on an adventure today in search of crayfish (crawdads) I told her I remember a lot of places I used to go as a kid that were teeming with the little critters. So off we went to find them. We went to my old stomping grounds where I grew up and there were fences and No Trespassing signs everywhere. So I told her I knew a few other places and we went there today. I was disappointed to say the least to find the creekbanks had been washed away everywhere we went. Not to be daunted I told her about one other place so on the way back we pulled off and went down to the creek and finally we found what we searching for. Puppet was ankle deep in the water trying to catch them and she came away with 3 of them. So even though a lot of my old childhood places where I used to have so much fun are now gone everything ended on a good note at least YAYS.

Yeah, good times.
How bad do they pinch?
I use to catch them as a kid too. Congrats on the nice catch!!
Prior to yesterday I had never even seen a crawdad unless you count those little blue lobsters they sell at the pet store XD Not a crawdad but close enough.
Check out my latest journal for stories of *cue epic music* "The Morning After Crawdad Hunting." Okay so it's really mostly a rant but I did crack some jokes in it so it's not that bad
