Well, spring is comming up soon, so maybe this year will see a banner hatch of "Spring" chickens, in your neck of the woods, POPS!
.....Water Wapiti! Don't know any of "those" kinda guys, that are willing to push you up the hill! Know of several that would generally oblige to help "kicking" anybody down the hill!

Yep, met them.
Think I'm still rolling! But I'll get up and knock them down the hill. Just let me catch my breath... Just as soon as I can get up, I'm going to knock em all for a loop. Still breathing hard, just give me a minute!
Never mind, think I'll go wet a line or maybe scout some Elk.

Spring, sprang, sprung. Could it just be us getting a bit older that makes critters a little bit faster and the places they hide a little rougher? Nah... I can still chase after a deer or pack bait up a mountain. I just enjoy the recuperating from it a little more! |

I doubt you would be as eager to chase the bucks or pack bait up hill once the bridle and saddle were removed. |

Well, no matter what kind of shape I'm in it sure seems like you could still use my help getting some stuff done. Too bad I can't just head out there and take a vacation. Somebody has to work around this joint! |

Yep Dave, I know you would help. I just would not want you to feel you were used as a pack mule.  |

I have been looking for a long handled shovel with a very small spade that can be used as a crutch, cane, or pole vault for creek crossings. No luck. Not sure what it will be used for most.....................

You just keep digging those long neck Washington clams with that super small lady shovel and let us bear hunters worry about what ever it is we worry about. Is she really talking about a shovel or an early man spear? |

Seein ya brought up Washington and their clams. I'll be driving right by you and where I think Nick is? on my way up to the Washington NAHC GT. Hope to spend Friday June 24th and Saturday up there. Know you, Nick, and any other members would be welcome along with family and friends. I'll be headed back to Wyoming with 3 of my grandchildren on Monday. The info about the GT is posted on the Washington Forum. Would be great if you and others could be there, tell Nick he can bring the limes, I'll cover the rest.
