A crew of 6 we reserved some private time on Graves Mountain.  Staying at Elijah Clark State Park each night of our stay is alway a bonus to the Graves Mountain experience. As luck would have it I was the first to find a stone at Graves Mountain. I awoke with severe pain on my side specifically around my kidney on the morning of the 4th. I was experiencing the pain of a kidney stone as it traveled from my kidney down my ureter, the thin tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.  The only problem is that this one was stuck. Mark was kind enough to sacrifice his digging time to drive me to the ER later  that day where x-rays revealed a 6mm stone stuck in my left ureter. They pumped me with drugs and sent me off with a prescription for more good drugs until I could make an appointment with a urologist back home to take care of that stone. Well a full day lost at Graves for me but it didn't stop me from having the most of my time.  From left to right:  Chris, Dustin, Drew, Dominic.

Strange swimming area.   

Boys will be boys.

Fanatastic night time photography, Scott! Well done!
Have you gotten rid of that kidney stone yet?!

Well Thank God this episode has passed!!!
Those stones are painful just to think about! I hope it is a looooong time, or never, before you experience that again.

Back to the thread, that first night shot you posted of the lake is really awesome. Looks like a painting.
