  1. As you come off of the freeway on Carefree highway there is a shopping center with a designer donut shop. I discovered it last year and every morning I pick up 2 donuts for myself and 2 for Clay. Those 4 donuts cost $20.00. Bacon and maple.

    Good morning, Yul.  Have a great time.

    Good morning to you too, Tex. EOT is something that I look forward to every year, I’ve never shot the match but being here to help out and seeing everyone is what I like. I’d encourage every CAS participant to visit an EOT just to see what it’s like. The people that have been working literally from the last EOT deserve all the accolades for their hard work, it’s really a special event.

  3. I got up yesterday morning and the battery was dead on my truck so down to Auto Zone for a new one. Put me back about an hour. I got here last night and got the trailer parked. As usual on the first night I woke up at 1:00 and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I got here plenty early. Leadbender met me coming in and it was sure good to see him again.

     

    As you can see from the pictures I might be here a tad early. LB tells me they’ve got 24-25 carts reserved!! That’s a lot more than the last two years.

     

    Minnesota Clay will be here around 7;00, he helps run the Cart Corral. It was 63 degrees when I got here so I doubt I’ll fire up the fire pit or don the buffalo coat this morning.

  4. When I was a youth we lived in Creede, Colorado and the water for the town came from Willow Creek, north of town. In the spring during run off the water was often the color of chocolate milk and throughout the year it was never clear as there was no filtration or chlorination plant for the Creede water system at the time. Between Creede and Wagon Wheel Gap there was a spring with a parking area and the people of Creede would fill up containers for their drinking water. The spring water wasn’t gushing out of the pipe so it took awhile to fill up numerous 5 gallon jugs. I kind of enjoyed the trips to the spring but my sisters found it boring so it was usually just my step dad and I and we visited with a lot of people waiting our turn to fill up.

  5. Used to manage a mountaintop communications site on Toro Peak in the Santa Rosa mountain range west of Palm Desert, Ca. The site was at 8,700 ft elevation and on the drive up, 16 miles there was a spring about 2/3rds of the way up. The water was very cold and wonderful to drink.

  6. Years ago when I lived in Wyoming we used to back pack into the Powder River canyons west of Kaycee, Wyoming for some of the best trout fishing on the planet. This is the Hole In The Wall country that Butch and Sundance visited. The hike in wasn’t bad because it was mostly all down hill but the hike out was a lot of work. The last time that I went on the trip we didn’t boil the water long enough for our hike out and we all got giardia, not fun. Took awhile to get over it.

    That Padres game Thursday - gave up 4 two run homers in the first inning...ended up 14 to 1 LA.
    Yesterday was a little better, lot 4-1.

    The Padres gave up only 1 2 run home run in the first. The others were on doubles. Not that it makes much difference. I’ll be at EOT next week and my pard Buck Garrett and I will take in a game or two while we’re there.
