Monday, September 15th, 2008How weird can a hunting trip get? This one, folks, tops them all beginning with a long hike back to a secret elk hunting spot and picking up a ghost who apparently wanted to go hunting. I promise you, though the sun was shining brightly, I was not delirious!

Second Colorado Elk Hunting Trip
Friday, September 12th, 2008I am finally back to civilization after spending two days in the woods, climbing over fallen trees, over the tallest mountains, and ridges (and might I add to that, I’ll have the best looking buttocks in Steamboat),
