Good to see my old chum "Long Range" out and about. Looks like the hip is doing well.
I took a nostalgia hike in the Miller Peak area of the Teanaways in Washington State last week looking for Grouse. Skitso and I moved at least six Ruffed Grouse. Forty-nine years ago I shot my one and only Deer just past the 3-mile marker on the Miller Peak trail, and always contended I'd have rather had the two Grouse I saw that morning than that damn Mule Deer. The country is still as beautiful, but that trail is a lot steeper and rockier forty nine years and 50 pounds later!!! Unlike "Long Range" I didn't take any pictures!!
