Great story Dalli, thanks for the extended version. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Those crampons are more than worth their weight in gold, ain't they? We would of been limited on our goat hunt without them. We did our goat hunt last year in the middle of October since we were going for nice coats like yours has. We paid the price though with the downfall of snow though, but what can you do? We didn't take rifles along, so we came home empty handed.
Congrats again and good luck in Idaho. I'll be about 400 miles south of you next year.
