Continuing... A few of the kids' "fort" up the hill, under construction. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1896_zpskjn6o5vp.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1898_zpsdk2vvjzc.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1900_zpsslfyzavp.jpg) Miles as we like to see him, in a pain-free interval ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1901_zpsz3sqtobb.jpg) Relaxing before supper. Ken Howell arrived mid-morning and stayed until early evening, looking about as chipper as he gets. Mark Lee, deep in thought (or something) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1902_zps3pqoz6zw.jpg)

Miles, my heart goes out to you; drive 1000 miles to spend three days in a tent in misery and then 1000 miles back to bad news. Get better and God bless.

I've got a couple of the pics I took at the Largo, but I think Mudhen might a better one coming.

A few more--Saturday evening after the rain drove most folks under the big tarp. Blue and Ken were drilling a steel pig at 170 yds, while Brian was whacking it with one or more of his pistols now and then, ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1910_zpsq9s7rphw.jpg) Ken decided to try the .405 No. 1 ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1911_zpsn0acts9g.jpg) The recoil is not that bad... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1912_zpseg2e1qi5.jpg) Over under the tarp, lots of serious discussions ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1905_zpsutdnpqpo.jpg) Sunday morning coffee at Blue's trailer ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1919_zpsffwd6dqn.jpg) The picture being passed around is of Blue's grand-daughter who had just won the Colorado State Gymnastics Title.

Oh, and a gleaming white Chevy pickup, meticulously washed and waxed, showed up Sunday morning. The sticker on the rear window attracted a LOT of unwanted attention: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN1920_zpsxwn5yzia.jpg) The rumor was that it was attached sometime during the night by a person or persons unknown, but that sounds a little lame to me...

At The Largo roughly 8 hours prior to Mudhen's pic. For a second I almost felt guilty about putting it there, but then it passed and I laughed my azz off! ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/Quemado%202015/1EF34793-CE35-42BA-8C39-5C9F31466B3A.jpg)

Just so everyone knows that "bumper sticker" is actually a vinyl magnet. Peel it off and there is no trace it was ever there.

Well Scott, that sign did leave a mark. Lots of folks in town and up and down the road saw it, but not a one of them honked. They did take very close looks - and photos - of the driver and are putting up warning posters, with photos, from here to Show Low. They don't want that driver associating with any local boy scout troops - just in case he has caught a touch of the malady.

Thanks!
