Hello Bryan ol buddy, yes please, I need help. I can hardly walk right now and the snow isn't going anywhere fast. Maybe you could pull me around on a sled? I know it's a lot to ask lol, I'm not a light load hah.
Sorry Rex, come again? Ah, yes I am aren't I? And have been for quite a while. You almost got that one by me...
Howdy Tiger! Yes that sand was pretty cool. It's not everyday you get to walk on frozen sand or see colors like that. Thanks Tiger!
No kidding Ranger Tim, we are incredibly excited about living here. We used to live in Bend Or many years ago before Phoenix. We always missed Bend but now love this area and hope to see much much more. Our last year there we had a ton of snow too, we love it!! Thanks Tim, I'll see ya.
Hello Magic43, Thank you for sharing your reply!
Thanks also USAFBill!
Hi Exhaustipated, I'm glad to hear from you this fine morning. Have a wonderful day!
Ah Camper Jeff! Yes those dogs are hams, they get that from their Mom lol. Wait, what?
Hey Crosscheck Dave, Yes yes, shoes full of sand, burrs, rocks, just like your shoes. Remember the days when we used to have to empty our pants cuffs outside. All the things we would have in those cuffs at the end of the day? Maybe a small frog, collections of the day. Ah well, we keep collecting don't we?! See ya Dave...
Hi Grant, Glad to know you're still kicking around God's Country. And yes, we can only hope.
Patrick, I appreciate your response, have fun being lost. Wish I could be lost...
Hey Nemo! Alaska you say? I have another good friend taking his new TC there this coming summer. You do know right, that Boise is the gateway to Alaska? Haha, see ya Ben, have a fabulous time. That is also one of my dreams!!
Clarryhill!! Yes those doggies do love a good camping trip. We have a ton of fun with them, they're not boring dogs lol. Thanks very much for your time and I'll hope to see you again soon.
06Fargo, like back...
Slickrock Steve, Oh man, you're taking trips I can only dream of. That's why I make mountains out of my molehills via trip reports. I can only imagine how much fun you must have. Thanks a lot Steve, wander on Amigo.
Cal, no to depanting? Well it was close I can tell you butt I agree, it's hard getting those stretch jeans to fit anymore. See ya sometime Cal, wander up this way and we'll find us a dirt road to explore.
Hi Prof, Hey those are great pics on your website of Basin and Range. I can't wait to see some for myself. You are one hiking son-of-a-gun, I'm envious as I can hardly walk right now. Back surgery didn't go well so now I'm taking pain meds and steroids. I can hardly stand them. I hope to hike some of those trails someday, leave breadcrumbs for me please hah! Thanks mucho for your note.
Ah GpnAZ, you know Mark, I'm never impressed with my own pictures, but I'll say that was one fantastic sunrise. I'm about ready to go back to a point and shoot, that way I will accept them for what they are, a picture of a memory, not artwork. Hi to Sue Mark, wish we could go bowling...
NEOK, I agree to the dogs being entertaining, just wish I had the energy to entertain them lol. Sorry to hear about there knee. I was kneed once too. Here's my take on an ice pack for the knee. This way you drink a beer and keep it cold at the same time. When you're finished drinking all the beer, no pain!
FordDiesel250, Thanks very much, it was a great time. I'll hope you've had some good times recently too!!
So long for now Amigos. I've got to go hang upside down on my back swing for a bit. Like I say, back surgery actually went well in November but as I was telling my wife to be careful on the ice one morning, yes I flipped straight up and came straight down on my new back. Now I can hardly walk/move. What a rotten deal. Lynn has had to do most of the snow shoveling this winter, of which there's been a ton, while I watch and sip...beer. Ok not really. If anything I've said has come across the wrong way, I apologize. I understand now the issue so many have with physical issues being coupled with pain med issues as I no longer feel in control. Thanks to you all for being such fantastic people to know!!
