Thanks for the tip. Looks like a good read.

Yes. It rained quite a bit down here, too. Isn't it wonderful?

Now I'm getting a bit nervous. Three more big flocks have gone over (it's Sacramento) in the past hour and a half. I don't recall them being here this early. I KNOW I've seen them in southern British Columbia on this date (well, duh, it's my birthday, so I remember). I sure hope this doesn't...

First flocks of sandhill cranes just flew over here. Must be autumn. Love the sound when they're airborne, although they're really nasty birds on the ground.

Great reports & photos. Thanks.

Strange to relate I've had the top break off a bear spray cannister, too. In griz country, no less, although I was actually about to use it on a rotweiler that was charging me. I'd guess that in addition to practicing drawing (which I do) it's probably a real good idea to check the condition...

Well, I've taken three selfies to show to Great Clips. It does seem to have improved the qualities of my haircuts. Beyond that, nope, no way.

Hm. Lessee Started with a '62 Chevy Nova in 1970. Only kept it for 5 years, sold it at 105,000 miles. Bought a 70 Buick Skylark, in 75, parted with it in '77 when I moved overseas. Rode bicycles and busses until 1998. Bought a disastrous Dodge Charger which died strangely in 2000 at which...

Backpack back into the Stein Valley. Cook a whole turkey dinner over a campfire. Ride a Harley.

Sounds great. Enjoy!

Really enjoyed this report. Thanks. Spent a week hiking the shore in Pukaskwa National Park years back -- magnificent country. Good memories.

Not a silly question. I lived for a year in Quebec, and spent a fair amount of time there when I lived in Toronto as well. It was my impression that Quebecois were impatient with Canadians who didn't bother to speak French, but were pretty welcoming to visiting Yanks. Basic stuff --Bon...

uh oh.. memory's going?

I think with the exception of the hair in my ears, almost all of these fit. I hadn't really grasped how far advanced in geezer/geezelledom I'd become. I'm not sure I'm gonna thank Mr. Ski for starting this thread... :wacko:

When you wonder whether your mom's doctor is old enough to have graduated. (I'm pretty sure he doesn't shave yet.) When your younger friends who you always think of as bright kids start talking about their pensions and marking high milestone birthdays.

Welcome new guys. This really is a helpful site, and the trip reports are often inspiring. Enjoy and keep in touch.

Look like really nice walks and as usual nice reports and photies. AND you got your chores done! Most impressive. You're right, the headlamp thing is a hassle. I've done it once and I'm ready to bet I'll have to figger it out all over again next time.

Thanks. Sounds great if it's not been burnt over. I've done the Coeur d'Alene-Creston bit and found it glorious. I must see the US Glacier Park one day.

Really wonderful report, and super photos. A net sounds like a good idea. Thanks again for a great read.

Lang may yer lum reek!

Not sure if this is locked, but I thought this looked like news. https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/photo-shows-wolf-pups-in-northern-california/

Yep. Real classic stuff. It's that awful moment when you realise what you've just done. There are Aha moments and then there are Oh **** moments, aren't there?

Enjoy.

Lovely stuff. Thanks.

I, too, camp in the Northwestern US and Western Canada, pretty much year around, in a small ATC pop-up. It's a part of the world that can get really wet and kinda cold. Yes, there's some condensation, but keeping a vent open a bit seems to make it all manageable. I've never had problems with...
