In early May, Central Alabama had some record-breaking rain. In one day it rained well over 6 inches. Needless to say, you couldn't keep the boys from going out and playing....
Wes and his Dad decided to go check Kenner Creek the afternoon that the rain stopped. What Wes has learned is that documentation is key (always take a camera)....
He was taking this picture of the creek and had no intention of Jake being in it. You can see that Wes' Dad is riding with his knees on his seat because he was dressed in a polo shirt, some jeans, and clogs. You can also see (but don't know) that this creek is way over its banks and it was flowing into the trail Wes' Dad is turning on...... 
Wes tells the story as he took the above pic and then turned right and took another of the creek. Immediately he heard the (very familiar) sound of a 4-wheeler drowning....
The creek had washed out the trail and formed a (according to Jake) 7 foot deep sink-hole. The reason the title if this blog reads: "Payback is a...." is because a month or so ago, Wes had a similar encounter involving the same creek and a 4-wheeler where he flipped upside down and drowned his ride... His Dad took advantage of every occasion that Wes would go riding by throwing Wes a life-jacket or making a sly comment about a life-jacket and "swimming in the creek"... Unfortunately for Jake: There were no pictures taken of Wes during his ordeal.....
