It's been too long. Great niece here and wife going too. Loaded trailer/ATV last eve., and other stuff pre-loaded too. Hope for a noon roll in. Gotta mow grass there, and a lap around trail system with chain saw on board ATV, will be the only work, I hope. Niece and me taking deer rifles. A 22 and 32 going. Bulldog on board for critter threats and such.

Wife and I took a camping vacation last month, hadn’t done one in years. She has a hard time sitting around, just sitting and enjoying quiet time, or being by herself. The trip was a good one and one we hope to do more of in the future.
Enjoy, and relax, times like these are too few……

Just home. MANY deer seen. Great niece and I jumped a bobcat down by the creek. Lota of turkeys w/poults. Awoke Saturday am and found a muddy bear paw print and 2 nose smears, too big for a large Lab, smeared on back door window of new camp building, where we were sleeping. ATV'ing and campfire cooking. Jeez, I'm tired still. My 6.5CM Savage 110 seems to like Rem Core-Lokt 140gr..

Just returned from the annual western varmint hunting trip last week. 29 days on the road with the pick-up camper and the dog. Shot in SD, WY, MT and ID and had a great time (despite the bit of snow in mid June). Coming home to the Alleghenies is much like returning to base camp. Life is good!

Yup, love my 'ghenies. Our camp in Penn ANF, but a bunch of backpacking and bowhunting and some climbing in Seneca Rock, Spruce Knob area.

bula Yep, you know where we are, still; after 50+ delightful years. We can see the cliff from the house.
And, as much as I love the West, I would never move to any of the many western areas that I once though I'd like make home because they are all full of transplants who moved there in the last 20/30 years for the lifestyle which, they screwed up by moving there. The inter-mountain West aint the same as it was many years ago. The Alleghenies haven't changed that much, if at all, depending on where one is. Fortunately, our county's population continues to decline, and the one stop light only works part time.

About 30 yrs go, I was showing co-workers pics from a backpacking trip that included the view down off Spruce Knob, the little farms and homesteads below. A gal from W.Va., burst into tears, happy tears. Said THAT one, that farm was her Grandmothers and she spent summers there in the '60's.

The high country around Spruce hasn't changed much at all in 30 Years. Some of that land has been in the same families since the late 1700s.

We just got back from “camping” in South Dakota. Love the area around Custer. Beautiful part of the country. Fished everyday and just took in the sights and air.

WE camped a few weeks ago on the BLM land North of Bison. The dog shootin' was OK and the solitude was great.
