You know what’s even more fun than finding excellent winching spots? Finding creepy, run-down, rotting, old houses in the middle of nowhere at the same time and calling them haunted. My friends and I have been scouting a lot lately. We found a little canal secluded into the woods, but still not too far from my home. It had concrete sides that were a little rough, but could potentially be sick for wall riding! I chickened out and only went up about 2 feet on the wall. Soon, I’m going to go back and conquer it after I put some more wax on the concrete. It’s weird how after someone buys a winch, he or she starts to develop “winch radar”. You start paying a lot more attention to water structures like you never have before. We were picking out rooms from the haunted house to stay the night in but shortly after, thought we should leave before the walls started to bleed. I’m glad we did because later on, I heard from some other mountain folk that the house was a place where people…well…cooked stuff that wasn’t exactly legal.Wake riding has been going really well too! The wake on our boat is dialed and literally kickin! After the Atlanta tour stop, I got to ride with Daniel Walden and some other Tennessee  riders on Lake Chattanooga. I also am officially done with community college and ready for Chico State next year! They have a really good wakeboard team as well so that’s also exciting! If any of you are still getting ready for finals, don’t be like Shawna, Shelby and I and fly crowded airlines the night before! Hope you all are having a great beginning of the Summer!
