The guys came home last Saturday night. It took them 2 1/2 hours to go 1/2 mile trying to get through the snow with their trucks coming home. That was just part of the fun. Deep snow, big rocks, no whining wives, beautiful day, laughter and great memories.
They got 2 cow elk between the four of them. The fellowship amongst them is the reason they go . . . to bring home meat is a bonus. They had a wonderful week. Gus only had one morning where he felt a little worse for wear and went back to bed.
Scott, Gus, Les and Dennis. The "grinning genius" figured out how to set his camera so he could be included in the picture.
Gus has always wanted a picture of what the tent looks like at nighttime with only the glow from the lanterns making the tent visible. He made sure he came back with his picture this year.
Snow . . . Snow . . . Snow
Stonehouse is the mountain in the background. Its elevation is approximately 10,000 feet. As you can tell by the angle, Gus was quite high up when he took this picture west of camp. Gus had gone for a walk Wednesday evening after the weather broke. The camp is down over the hill on the left edge of this picture.
With Scott on duty, Gus felt he was safe to catch up on a little sleep. This is Gus' same favorite meadow as last year, only this year the meadow provided seating.
Snow . . . Snow . . . SnowThis is Scott on his tall horse leading a pack horse who was pushing snow with its belly. This is the meadow where Scott proposed to April.

Last year Gus only had a stump to sit on.
He's hoping next year there will be a recliner waiting!

We have been eager to hear how the hunting trip went. Thank you for the update. With love, Ed & Alice
Recliners are not allowed in HUNTING CAMP
It only needs an ottoman to be close enough to a recliner for me. I hope dad likes blue for next years hunting camp. Tj

Hunting 2009 - It appears that you cannot take a joke... You are very mean to some of us who are following your blog. I am glad that Gus has good friends that will take a recliner by pack horse to the hunting camp. I am looking forward to seeing a pic of a lazyboy recliner at hunting camp next year. That will mean Gus is doing very well which is what we all want.
