Can I get you some ice???

This is my favorite!

Just another view of the Helo.

Adam took a helicopter ride to a glacier when he was on the Alaskan cruise. This is a great shot!

Here are some great hunting joke one liners I found on the internet.

• "I just got a new rifle for my wife. It was the best trade I ever made."
• I just love animals." "They taste GREAT !!!"
• Vegetarian -- Ancient Indian word for inept, clumsy hunter
• If a man says something, while deer hunting in the woods, and there are no women around to hear it.......Is he still wrong?
• First man: why do you go deer hunting without bullets? Second man: Because it is cheaper and the results are the same.

I think they're great!

Thought I'd post a picture of Adam and his new baby. Looks like he hunted the truck and is posing for a picture with his Kill!

So we went back to our hunting site last night to see if there was any activity. We were quite surprised to find there was a home made stand in a tree just up from where I was setting mine up. We are really hoping that the blind is old. We assume that it is because last season there was a gentleman clear cutting all of the wind fallen trees from Juan. We set a couple of branches in the stand to see if anyone goes back to it. Looks like it's going to be a good spot. Lots of sign and activity. We're crossing our fingers... I applied for a doe Tag this year, second year in a row, I didn't get one. I was surprised. Dad has applied 3 times and has gotten a tag 3 times. There should be a sort of pool or something from keeping the same people from getting the tag 2 times in a row. Oh well....We'll see what happens. For those of you who don't hunt...you could have skipped over all of this...And to those of you who DO hunt...The weather is getting cooler...ALL RIGHT!

Had to see what the S-10 could do. The picture doesn't do it justice. This really is quite steep, feels like you're going to roll backwards. Someday maybe I'll have a real rock climber, for now, I'll settle for a truck than can climb small hills!

ahhh..there it is.. As you can see the water level here is very VERY low. We were quite surprised to see this. Adam and I used to come back to this lake all the time growing up. We decided it would be a nice chenge to come back here to see if anything had changed..imagine our surprise when we discovered half of a lake. The rock in the center is quite cool...we were going to see if we could make it out to it, but there was not enough rocks to walk on. The rock is about 5'-6' out of the water.. We guess that the water level is down about 6-7' min.

This is actually Susie's Lake. Well it was here....where the hell did it go??? Man I know there is a lake around here somewhere.........

This is a shot of Susie's lake, taken from a hill overlooking clayton park. We hiked in from Lakeside using GPS. Was a pretty hard hike at times, not very far but we had to blaze a trail for a good portion of the way back. The way back out was even worse becasue there were no trails to follow at all. Adam and I go into the woods with a GPS and still managed NOT to come back out in the same spot...It never fails, we have never seemed to be able to grasp the idea of retracing your steps...we always seem to find our way out no matter where we are, however, it is generally at least 20-50 yards from where we went in..Maybe we should turn the GPS on next time????

A view of Clayton Park that you don't get to see everyday. This is taken from the other side of Susie's Lake behind Bayer's Lake Business Park. This place is a maze of Mountain Biking Trails.

The water is high enough that it comes out the front of the grill. Although, this year, they decided to put in some proper drainage so we will not be able to kill time here anymore...*sniff*

Giving the S-10 a bath. Last year this area was always washed out. Although it was a great way to kill time on the way back into our stands for the evening hunt.

This gives you a better angle and perspective on the whole thing. The rear bumper is about 2" off the ground, IF that. Just the beginning of our amateur off-road exploits.

One afternoon out in Renfrew, we decided to see what we could do with the Silverado. I mean it has to get dirty sometime! Although it doesn't look very steep, IT IS! I know what you're thinking, why would someone do this to a brand new vehicle...Well it IS a TRUCK!
