I should have included an "eye roll" emoji with my post. I have witnessed the damage to several vehicles caught on an incoming tide.

The upper Sea of Cortez has some pretty significant tides, but my other playground, Cook Inlet, in Alaska is much more extreme. On one trip, I had to deal with a 38 foot change (minus 5'/plus 33'), Fortunately I was in a Zodiac, not a 4x4!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I got it that you were being facetious about camping at low tide, AK, but it's true that emojis help with online communication, as there's no facial expressions, tone of voice, or body language to make it clear that someone is joking.
I used to think emojis were silly kid stuff, but realized that they do serve a practical purpose.
