Warren, old bull not too smart. I would sure liked to use my tractor, but in fairness I used my son in laws strong back for the heavy packs. I got old man sized loads.
AND got my cardiac stress test out of the way for another year!!
Fun times

That's for sure Marty. Flat land maybe so, but not where I hunt. Too many uphill climbs.

Don't know of any flat Colorado public land, except maybe in the two Grasslands. There you find Antelope.
That has got to be a real work-out with both the altitude and the topography, no matter how much you're lugging.

Yes sir David! I was in the San Juans near Telluride. 10,000 ft.
Glad I had a week to get some altitude adjustment. Only flats on the top. Beautiful country I try to visit every fall as long as I'm able!!

Telluride -

Nicknamed "To hell you ride" by the Railroad conductors in the old mining days. One of my jobs after the service was working with the Colorado Historical Society on a film of the area. My job was at night processing film, so I had the daytime to go trout fishing. We all camped in the old schoolhouse. Was a good summer.

Sounds like a great summer!!! We've all had a few!

My woods ride:

LMAO Robert. We'll here's the deal. I do walk in and out from my spot so those boots are still made for walking. Dragging the donkey out is another matter. I'm getting to old for this ....

I am a little old fashion. 30 miles back in the Gila Wilderness NM

Now that's what I call horsepower.
