Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just thought that some that can read some wrong spelt words not put in the rite order and like to talk and discuss like human beings do and I knows theres some of ya's out there, Just sent this Email to my Pard GHarman Ya we can still talk bout things and have differin ways of thinkin and still be pards don't think he'd mind, So if's wrogn's spelt word affend you's don't read's not one words pass dis here. Had to split it up cause it was to long for TDR 
We had a good time, had a fantastic ride in seen many animals Elk,Deer,Bear,Hawks and Sheep. Our string had Penny and Myself, Nate Vickey, Dave Maree, Nora Steve and of course the Zac Man, he's going to be quite the mule man some day he wasn't the least big intimidated by the large animals, Penny had him in what amounts to a Indian car seat for little ones he had the time of his life just watching things go buy. We rode for at least a couple of hours before the coffee started barking, we stopped and took a little break grabbed a quick snack and some water and back at it again. Trail was relatively free of snow which was a surprise to me but we stayed low along the river until we needed to cross at a pass, still at 3K ft not that much snow. Steve and Dave asked how the heck do you know where your going, its not like its the first time that we have been in our backyard but still use a topo map and compass, Steve said that a GPS would work as good wouldn't it, ya imagine so until ya dropped it or the batteries took a crap on ya. This has been the way for Centuries and should be used by all that travel in the wilderness or at the very least as a back up knowledge if you do use GPS. Penny was asked if she knows how to use the map and compass? she can but I leave that to BIG he's never got us lost, temporarily disoriented a few times but never lost, the packing , stock, trail guide, and camp equipment are his part of the job, I cook and WE clean up that's the deal he don't complain about the food, and if he does, make something for himself its always worked for us.
When we got to the top of the pass I had the others close their eyes until I said to open them. When we were all in a line at the top I said ok take a look NOT ONE WORD WAS SAID *
happy We got off and waited for the other string to catch up I didn't want them to cross the possible slide area without both Jason and I on one side and BIL/FIL on the other and riders tethered with a rope. Dave asked what about the animals what if they fall? don't want to sound ugly, but to hell with them if you want to be tied to a 1K kicking machine by all means tie on, they have a better chance without you on their back anyway. Once across the slide we had pretty much clear trail to the camp, Nora and Steve asked if we were going to set up camp, Penny and I told them and the others to catch some fish for dinner, that's all it took off the bunch of them went. Penny and I work pretty well at setting up the tipis and camp kitchen. Dave and Maree couldn't believe the place they have been to the Sierras but both said this is WAY better, I think the mode of travel has a lot to do with the feeling for the place. Got camp set up and a fire started chairs out and coffee and warm drink going of course the beer was stuck in the snow to keep it cool, Bob caught the first and the biggest so he won the pool, he wont have to get fire wood for his and Barbs, MIL/FIL's wood stove as part of his victory, others will stock their supply. Got Dave and his truckers back settled in, he gave his bunk a try and exclaimed that you FRIEND BIG are a man of your word this is every bit as good as the one at home, what a bed!!!! We took 4 tipis for this trip cause we didn't have to cut poles they were already here from the previous year Jason used this as a camp for some fishing people, Steve said wow!!! a real Indian tipi how cool is this. Nora said well look around there are enough Blackfeet Indians what did you think a holiday inn! he said the more time that I spend around you people the more I don't know WHAT TO EXPECT!!!
Got up early Saturday, normal for most of us lately, fired up the campfire and coffee pot. Took the camera and went exploring got a few nice Elk pictures and have been glad to see a bunch of Raptor type birds. MIL came out to where I had my butt parked, thinking that it would be a magnificent show when the sun peeked over the mountain and asked if she could watch the show with me? I had a wool blanket with me so she parked her fanny on half we watched the show, and a good one it was. She' been around me a lot lately I asked if every thing was OK with her health? She said just old age and wanting to spend time with you and take some of you with me when its time to go, before its to late. Penny came out and said breakfast was on so our time was cut a little short, more time will be had together before this trip is done im sure.
Elk/Deer/pork sausage combined, thick cut smoked bacon, biscuits and gravy 4 fried eggs hash browns cowboy coffee. That will stick to your ribs Pard!! good to go for the day in my case. Linda said that im heading for a hart attack eating like this but agreed that my blood work at the doctors office came back better than Normal so good to eat!!! Steve was looking at the coffee pots and then looked at me and asked is this like the beer with my name on it deal? *) laughing The little pot is for the normal coffee the other one is Cowboy Starbucks, he poured a cup of Cowboy and later went back for more Penny (who I think has taken a liking to Steve) asked you like that do ya, he likes the strong coffee, its better than the stuff in town with their designer coffee shop so another winner for your Cowboy coffee Pard.
