Hi Nim--Shovel-guy will be back up on the slope Tuesday. He' s down in Oregon playing with the munchkins. They did get a nice bear one of the first days of the hunt--actually his buddy Jesse got it. Casey had a couple of missed opportunities, but they all had fun. Shovel-guy and I went out later and saw a couple but weren' t able to come away with anything except a nice bunch of shrimp. They were tasty! I might have to try that bowfishing sometime...I had to admit, I' m intrigued!
