Looks like a great time, thanks for sharing!

Cragmont soda, wow, haven't heard that one since the 70s!

You're in good company with wet feet. Read Fred Bear's field notes - seems he was always having to take 1 day out of four just to dry out.

Glad you guys had fun!

I have started bringing two sets of boots plus some merrel shoes.  I hate wet feet.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Lazy Sunday afternoon.
I took some time and resurrected this post with new photos I was able to transfer over to Imgur after the whole Photobucket fiasco.
Makes me smile looking back at that first Colorado trip. Heading out in 2 weeks for another go at it!
