They are a lot of fun to drive, but they to take a bit if finesse and patience to start on a cold morning.
Doing a little grouse hunting the day before the duck opener.
I like to soak in milk with a cup of brown sugar overnight. Salt and pepper the outside and traeger at 275 until it’s 160ish on the inside. Simple and tasty.
Salida and Buena Vista are cool places but still prefer the San Juans even though Durango has gotten trashy since legalization.
Breakfast at Willy’s, deer everywhere and flowers eeking out a living in the dry dry earth.
Hoping to get over to Pagosa Springs for a day. Might need a soak after all the hard labor it sounds like I will be doing.
I try to get out to Telluride every other year for the blues and brews festival. Obviously didn't happen this year.
Portland mayoral candidate Sara Iannarone who proclaims herself as ANTIFA and is leading in the polls is photographed weaing a skirt with images of Mao and other Communists. They're not even trying to hide it any more.

Still in CO. We’re at 8500’ elevation and very little light pollution. We killed all the lights and went outside and....
I’ve been here and done this before but wow. Wow.
The sky is so unbelievable. I can see the Milky Way line. I can see countless stars.
I wish I could capture it but all I brought this trip was my iPhone.
I stand here in complete awe. Thinking about how small I am and so...insignificant.
Then I remember that the One who created it all does not consider me insignificant.
I am a blessed man.

just got back home from 10 days on the Montana ranch. Aspens gold, larch trees turning, streams boiling, mountain peaks caught the first waft of snow. I hope that I never, in whatever days I’m granted on this rock, lose the ability to be fascinated and awed like a child.
I would at that point truly be dead, just awaiting burial as there would be little point to the work eat sleep routine.
I hear you. I was out this weekend with my daughter on her youth deer hunt in Northern AZ at 6500'. Zero light pollution. After the evening hunt I rolled my shooting mat out in the bed of the truck and laid there taking it all in with her. Should have set up my spotting scope, but the binos were more than enough. She was blown away. Hell, I have seen it many times before and I was still blown away. First time for her in a zero light pollution area and a clear sky. She tried to capture the Milky way line with her I-phone also, but just couldn't do it. Got to show her different constellations, how to find Polaris, the difference between the planets, stars, and satellites. She also go to see a shooting star. Got skunked on the hunt and only found does, but she is starting to figure out that hunting with her old man isn't about harvesting an animal and more about spending time together in nature.
Can't wait till mine is old enough to hunt! Have to wait till 12 in CO.
Time a father can spend with his daughter in this day and age is priceless.
We have a lot of challenges to crush. And we set the tone for what they know is good and right.
Roadtrips are good too. My kid loves to ask big questions that we talk about for an hour or more. Funny for a kid with more energy than a truck full of squirrels
There is something about rare seared backstrap and fried eggs that adds to it though.....

Me too, but I can't find any info. We did stay in a place with individual rooms on stilts, on Island Gorda in the British Virgin Islands in 1969 on our honeymoon, but I'm sure it's all hotels by now.
Corruption and selling access !
Thanks. It was a bitter sweet hunt. It is her last youth hunt. She is 17 and knows everything in the world like all 17 yo, and I don't know if she will continue to beat the brush unsuccessfully with me in the future. We saw mule does, spotted fawns (in October no less. Seems late in the year to me), coyotes, a Mexican wolf, but no horns. It was a new unit to me and I only got a chance to scout it one time prior to the season.
On the plus side she did get to learn how to use a map and my old military lensatic compass I have had for 20+ years and learned how to resect a point and land nave the analog way. That damn compass has followed me my entire military career, deployment, and has a lot of miles on it. Statement of charges was worth it. It will be her's one day, even if the tritium no longer works.
Saw this at the grocery store in Westcliffe.
We are heading home tomorrow morning. Don is placing the ranch in a realtor’s hands so I am not sure if I’ll ever come to CO again. Beautiful country and that night sky....
Gonna miss it but I love my own mountain home.
