27-Dec-2000 -- On a Christmas holiday trip to Thomasville, Alabama, Kathryn and I decided to team up with her father to find a local confluence. Amongst the mobile homes and lack of interest in GPS, we found it easy to shoot straight for the nearest one...merely 5 miles from Major Kent's home. Though we had to drive a little Jetta through the mud a ways, we found that a short trek behind someone's house (who wasn't home) that was guarded by a meek black labrador, was a quick way to find the confluence in the woods. I carved DCP into a pine tree when we found it, and back home for gluehwein and dinner we went.
