Got a whole lot going on down in Hot Vegas. We just did a road trip up to Denver to see family. I found out that I have a cousin there that is a big time hunter. Woohoo! He invited me along on the October elk season so hopefully I' ll get up there since I had to cancel Oregon this year. They hunt Cougar as well, so I think I' ll throw some hints his way that I' d love to go along. He' ll hopefully be joining us on our annual caribou hunt next season also.

That drive through the rockies is beautiful, especially through eastern Utah and Western Colorado. Traffic still scoots along through 10,000 feet plus, and we made the 750 mile trip in 11 hours.

Lil, are you guys thinking of moving down to South East? Sounds like you' ve found some good opportunities there.

I' m back up north on the 31st, but on the 1st we are taking the boats into the mountains. 4 weeks off next time I' m home... Wahooo!
