Virginia: Snow day with Mike

Added 2021-12-14 12:56:18 +0000 UTC

You may recognize Mike from previous posts here on the page. He was a college student at the time and luckily for me, he was always around whenever I'd come to visit my folks. Nearly always nude and always up for an adventure - I miss my time with him!

On this particular day he was a real trooper. It was a short shoot for a couple different reasons - we were somewhere we probably shouldn't have been and needed to be quick and I guess more importantly, it was pretty damn cold that day.

The house was built around 1890 and has sat empty since the 1960's. It was my 2nd or 3rd time there and the first time in the winter. In the summer the weeds are so overgrown and intense, in addition to the mosquitos. In fact, my most memorable trip there ended with my eyes swollen shut from a massive allergy attack due to some specific weed. Without any exaggeration I can say it was the worst allergy attack of my life. Oh, but a few days ago I just ventured back. I prepared by wearing long sleeves, jeans and a face mask (hello, Covid) - and also drugged myself up before hand with allergy meds. I took my drone, got some cool video shots and then got the hell out - unscathed and very much alive. The video is up on my youtube:

I'm hoping to go back next week one last time before I leave the area indefinitely once again!
