Okay so apparently our duck rescue reel isn’t getting the attention we need it to, so here’s some PEAK fall color to bribe you into looking at our last post 🥺🍁

This was taken yesterday 11/2 at Whitewater Falls and the colors are absolutely INSANE right now!! Like PEAAAAAK peak. 😍🍂

Now that I have your attention… 🥹

We recently helped rescue a duck at Rutledge Lake RV Park that we named Scooter after finding fishing line wrapped tightly around his severely injured leg 💔

X-rays confirmed his leg is broken, and sadly, the damage was so bad that amputation is necessary.

Our goal is to raise $2,500 to cover his surgery, vet bills & recovery.

SOOO if you enjoy our free guides, fall color updates, and WNC recommendations, we’d be SO grateful if you could take a minute to watch our last reel, share it, or donate if you can ♥️

We don’t ask our community for help often, but this little guy really deserves it. He’s feisty, independent and so determined (I mean he’s been getting around by hopping & using his beak to help drag himself around 🥺)

Okay that’s all. You may now return to your regularly scheduled leaf peeping 😂🍁

PLEASE GO WATCH & SHARE OUR LAST REEL!! 🦆❤️‍🩹
