Great story, Ron. I love it when the good guys outsmart the bad guys. I'm gonna dust off that old metal detector tomorrow.

Thank you, Jim. Yes, dust her off. It's great exercise and you might find something as well. Jim, was it you who last fall recommended the book "Once An Eagle." It is now one of my favorites. Wow.

No, it wasn't me but I will have to put it on my TBR list.

I liked the ending, Ron. It tied nicely back to the early part of the story. Ronnie did not take any chances when he covered his tracks. I'll remember his techniques in the event I have a need for them.😄 The boys deserved a reward for what they had done. I enjoyed this one all the way, Ron. I love hearing about that bayou and the gulf.

Hi Ken. Thank you so much for your kind words and support. This was a fun one. If you know your home turf, you can use it or exploit it. I think it's the same everywhere. I haven't been in those marshes and bayous for a long time but I remember them and the stories told.

I like a happy ending.

Clearly none of them has read No Country for Old Men. 😄

I haven't read it either, Jim. Nor have I seen the movie. I'll add it to my ever expanding reading list that is growing much faster than my have read list. : ) I did just finish reading "Once An Eagle" that someone on Substack recommended and I thank whomever it was. Thank you for reading my story.

It's a great book and an even greater movie. But quite spooky.
