Madison Walker Martin is an adventure filmmaker. Jerod Foster is a photographer, professor and co-owner  of Happy Hiker in Ruidoso, New Mexico. They are also good friends and elite members of the Tinstreamer Expedition Team. This episode finds us on the Brazos River in North Texas as we paddle 20 miles for an overnighter on the John Graves Riverway. Madi is making a documentary about the trip, and Jerod and I are on assignment for Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine.

We put in below the Morris Sheppard Dam (Possum Kingdom Lake) and paddled our boats eight-miles downriver to a remote camp along a sandbar. This episode was recorded on location at our little island habitat. Listen to the frogs chirp and river flow as we chat about the pristine wilds of the Brazos River, writer John Graves, and our modes of flotation. Madison and I are on Badfish Monarch Stand Up Paddleboards. Yes, Madi packed all of her video production equipment on top of her Monarch. I lugged my podcast equipment, an empty propane canister, and our camp kitchen. Jerod rocked a Diablo Paddlesports Chupacabra kayak with his camera gear and a Yeti Cooler packed with steaks and all the accoutrements for dinner and breakfast.
