No Wake Zone Not my house... but I wish it was, that's a sweet lawn that you never have to mow. Ice cube. Evidence of global warming. The ice cube tray is melting. Big 'ol mountain behind a mechanical snowshoe.

I think we determined this was a harbor porpoise rather than a Dall's. We see a lot more Dall's, but this guy was by himself and was having fun chasing the boat. Just letting out a breath. Kind of a neat shot where he popped right through the reflected mountains. An auto-dispensing ice cube tray. Temp and tide can make this a tricky place to get to, as it ices out all at once in the spring and then continues to kick ice out for a big part of the summer. Heard a guy on the radio lamenting that they'd set up camp in this bay, and the next day you couldn't get in there without bumping tons of ice. That camp might still be there. A scraggly looking goat about a half mile out from the glacier.

If you guys are tired of marine animals, let me know and I'll stop posting them. Snubbie, hope your PT goes well, listen to those folks and don't be a hero.

Back down to Earth A camp last spring in Pisgah NF A cold late winter hike to a place near my home. The "Blue Ridge Escarpment" drops off here providing view across the foothills and Piedmont. You can see around 70 mile here I'd guess. It was spitting some snow that day and the wind was cold. I found some fatwood and collected it to put in my fire kit. Can you tell me what axe/hatchet you are carrying on your belt and the usefulness of it please. Im thinking a GB?

People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.

Some more NV, this time from an antelope hunt. -Doug We saw sheep, deer and antelope in this canyon, just didn't bother getting any pics of the antelope. I was putting a camera stalk on the sheep when I jumped this guy from his bed. The sheep looked down the canyon for a bit wondering, "what's wrong with that guy?" as the deer bounded away. They finally saw me and posed for awhile. We were treated to some great sunrises. This little gopher snake thought he was bad. This fox let me have some photo fun. We saw an awesome Black Rock Desert dust storm. It is hard to comprehend from these pictures, but the front of the dust wall here is about 3000' high. [img] http://desertbighorn.smugmug.com/Ou...nt_DayFour_BlackRockDustStorm_-1-4-L.jpg[/img] Oh yeah, success was had. Heading back down to the Razr in the far valley below. We did an all day hike, climbing a couple thousand feet up to the antelope. :-) [img] http://desertbighorn.smugmug.com/Ou.../i-VLkcVmw/0/L/Mikes_antelope_-1-8-L.jpg[/img]

Seems I've seen that Bonsai before Maybe... Nice house, Brad! Great pictures everyone! Threads like these are really great.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

That area burned a few years ago and there's some old pine stumps. I had success BTW. The hatchet was handy digging into those stumps.
