Be safe and have fun, Charlie. I'll be anxiously waiting for your upcoming stories and pictures.

Safe journey

[Charlie Lamb]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! Awoke this morning to 30 degree temps. Just a touch of frost on the pumpkin...if they could grow a pumpkin out here!

The trip west was long and uneventful. Spent the first night in far western Kansas after being amazed (again) by the never ending scenery... who was the guy who stopped his covered wagon and said, "Hey Margaret! This looks like a good place to homestead."

Awoke to much dryer conditions than back home. Even though it had rained during the night, there was still less humidity.
The really cool thing was that when I woke up I still had all my stuff.... see accounts of my last trip.    

Tucked in here about 9 p.m last night and after a great nights sleep, I'm catching up on email and PM's and sampling some really great coffee.

Will be dragging out the recurve in a little bit to do some shooting and looking to terrorizing some of the local game before the day is over.

This thread will be kind of a daily journal thingie and I'll try to keep it updated as best as possible.

From my roost I have already seen mule deer, antelope and elk this morning. Not a bad way to start the day.

With 6 days left to season opener, I'll be shooting (at) jackrabbits and trying to help my buddy Iron Bull with a beaver depredation problem.... he's overrun.

Stay tuned and I promise we'll load this thread up with pictures.

Living vicariously from my desk here and temps in the high 90's with matching humidity....I think it was a chilly 70 when I left home this morning at 5:30  :eek:  .

[el cazador]

Looking forward to the updates and photos.  Like JC, I'm a bit envious on the weather factor alone, not to mention you're out there living what many of us only dream about.

Good luck and be safe.

who was the guy who stopped his covered wagon and said, "Hey Margaret! This looks like a good place to homestead."
 

Charlie it wasn't that guy.... It was the one who had heard "are we there yet?" one to many times....    :D   Have fun ...... Terry

I can see why Charlie says "life is wonderfull in Wyoming"

I'll be tuning in to hear the blow by blow    

lil side note, those beaver might be worth skinnin, price is way up. I guess the demand has cleared all the stale goods out.

[Guru]

Good to see ya made it to Vance's safe and sound bud....

...Nice pic Vance    ...good to see the 'ol boy relaxing!!!

What the???????? Where did Charlie get a pair of jeans? That's not Charlie! That has got to be an imposter!

[Whip]

So what would you be wearing if it was 30 degrees CK?  I gotta think you'd have the woolies on by now, and you'd still be shivering!  

[Charlie Lamb]

Aside from the unauthorized photo of my nap. (boring!) Not much to report yet.

I spent a little time yesterday looking over the country, getting used to seeing antelope again and stretching flatland legs.

As of this writing I'm starting to see a couple of spots that might prove to be good ambush spots.
You antelope hunters will appreciate the fact that water is literally everywhere, so it's not gonna be a "sit in a pit" kind of hunt.

[Littlefeather]

I thought you were going to "stalk" em on the open savanah? You don't need no water Mr Lamb. Get em boy! CK
