Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

You know it's a great group when the snow starts working its way towards you, everyone just kind of stares at it and grunts, and goes back to the fire without saying a word... and it was an absolute blast! That was funny! Secretly Tom and I had our “we have to pull the plug if it gets too deep. We ...

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

Suffered from that on a trip to Utah and the surrounding parks. Wife booked a hotel Brian Head, not realizing that it was not only halfway between two locations we were visiting, but also one of the highest locations in Utah. 10-11K feet and we flew in from Miami. We both didn't feel well, but seve...

Re: Apparently the .270 can kill

I have a puffer vest, but if I want to stay warm while doing something I grab the wool vest. T shirt, long sleeve shirt, wool vest , hat and a silk neck rag I’m good down to freezing. I may have a poncho if I’m just sitting around….🤣

Re: Apparently the .270 can kill

This is just more evidence the round is good for women and children to use. We used to simply give 9mm's to the women and kids because it was an effective round they could handle. Now the grown-ass men are putting comps on their 9mms. Whatever this phenomenon is, perhaps the .270's arrive in the 19...

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

Maverick has some decent brew from their fresh coffee machines. But it does indeed, get you moving. But locally we don’t like Maverick, they bought out another localish chain, Kum N Go. Had quite a few struggles getting things switched. Finally better, but still not our beloved Jizz and Jet. I went...

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

The photos of the area and having visited, make me a little envious. But, white snow or blue water and white Sand beaches? I sure hope to visit again soon. There is a real condition called Altitude Sickness, where your body doesn’t adapt to lower oxygen levels in the air. It can knock you on your b...

Same spot June 19, 2020…..
That day I was the only one on the mountain. I didn’t see another person until I hit Laramie.

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

Great folks sharing Good Times. Is that weather normal for this time of year? Apparently… but I’ll let the “locals” go into details. Late May is still a bit “early” to be that high up. The day time highs are in the 60-70’s and the lows are around 30-40. There is still a significant amount of snow u...

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

We did manage to get some shooting in. Enzo brought his Marlin 22 and I brought my 1887, strictly as a camp protector. Our targets were those cute little ducks that Zee loves so much! We shot my 1887 Cimarron 12 ga too. I think at least one guy wants one now.

Three guys thinking about it. Me sitting in my Jeep waiting for them to remember the badazz Rubicon behind me with a winch 🤣
And we still moved it off the road by hand….. so the bad ass “I need Mo Java” could pass without getting wet🤣

Re: Friends around a campfire…. Snowy Mountains high!

Great time in spite of the sometimes unbearably cold wind. Lots of good conversation with good folks around a campfire. Life doesn't get much better than that. As is the usual, I didn't get much in the way of pics but the others have covered it pretty well. What he’s not saying is Sako is a great c...
