Tales from the Ole River
A family journey through hard times, wild country, and unforgettable adventures.

These stories bring to life the challenges of surviving difficult times, living off the land, facing natural disasters, and finding humor and adventure along the way.
From resourcefulness and family determination to encounters with legendary Wood Boogers, Tales from the Ole River blends history, storytelling, and a touch of backwoods folklore.

A little fact, a little folklore, and plenty of fun from a lifetime spent exploring the great outdoors.
