One rifle thing I don’t understand #13371462 12/18/18 Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 397 Along the Great Divide, Colora... R riverdog OP Campfire Member OP riverdog Campfire Member R Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 397 Along the Great Divide, Colora... I’ve seen some photos here of rifles in the creek, underwater. Why would one put his rifle in the creek for a photo?
