I think one of them is trying to stay warm. Don't know about the others.

I wuz out meanderin around in that Owyhee country and dang if I didn't spot POPS down by the river with some familier lookin dude that was floatin the stream in a canoe!
I got the spotin scope out and took a closer look and dang if that dude didn't look exactly like ol Claude! I plumb forgot that he'd been let out.
I wonder..........

Dang, I saw the sun reflect off an object on the ridge above Bull Basin and thought I saw a human outline. So it was Nick spying on me? The fella floating the river told me this was the first time he had been back in the area since January 5 of '81. While there, he found a stash of traps hidden in some rocks. I can't wait to go back and hear more of his wilderness stories.

I knew it! I knew It!!
It was Claude!<!--graemlin::eek:-->
POPS, you had better sleep with one eye open with him hanging around! I realize that ya only got one eye to start with and yer gonna miss alot of sleep, but I'd keep it open anyway!
Besides the barmaid should be about to pass thru the area! <!--graemlin::D-->

Good idea Nick. I will take my spare glass eye and set it on a rock next to me for the first watch!

LMAO!
I like it when ya wear that spare eye around your neck backwards! Like ya always say, you can keep an eye on your backside that way!!<!--graemlin::D-->

Speaking of backsides.........anybody hear from Water Wapiti or Greg lately? The barmaid must be in their vacinity! <!--graemlin::eek:-->

That feller didn't have a nice golden California tan did he? Seems I heard something about a guy living in Paradise or something like that. Maybe he'd been out of the sun for a while and it had faded.

If Pops can see his backside how come he didn't miss that rock he got busted up on? <!--graemlin:;)-->

The water truck is 11'6". So after slipping off, I tried to hit on my head so I would not be hurt. I failed.

Dave, do you know Mr D? Maybe spend some time with him? Are you laying low with the barmaid?

Aw gee, POPS. I try to stay away from bars and barmaids. They just get me into trouble. In fact, I met my wife in a bar. Should about cover it right there! <!--graemlin::D-->

Don't know the guy personally. I was thinking though that if he found those traps and decided to keep them he may want to change his name when he used them. Those little feline critters are pretty tough on an old guy out of shape like he is. Maybe he should change his name from Dallas to Balls.

Claude BALLS???
Did I miss something?

Originally posted by: POPS on 10/6/2006 1:42:27 PM

No, but Claude may be missing something.

Why is he so popular? He tries to keep out of sight.

.....kinda like some other feller I know!

Originally posted by: David Naumann on 10/7/2006 5:34:59 AM

Maybe he's shy and is trying to stay away from autograph seekers, being a movie star of sorts.

POPS, if you go back to hear more stories just be sure to stay out of his tent. I've heard he REALLY doesn't like that.

Originally posted by: NICK W on 10/7/2006 9:22:15 PM

POPS doesn't go into, or stay in tents!
He's happy under his very own rock!

Originally posted by: POPS on 10/9/2006 8:30:13 AM

My shelter is "rock solid". It needs no poles or stakes and does not fear wind, rain, or snow.

Almost sounds like a line from a mailman's handbook! Don't tell me. The real reason you met up with Claude was to give him all the mail that had piled up over the years. Must have been a lot of trapping magazines in there since '87. That's real nice of you to do that POPS. That's what friends are for.

David! David!
Did ya just fall out of a bear stand?
POPS don't have any friends!!!!........
He just has critters that follow him!<!--graemlin::eek:-->
