Larry (Genesis) and I got home this afternoon and I figured I'd post some pics of our excellent adventure. We had a great time meeting members we hadn't yet, and seeing the ones we had met before again. If you can ever find a way to make it to one of these get togethers you'll find it well worth the time and effort. Great people (staff and members), and just an all around great time.
The weather kind of messed things up this year. Friday was lousy all day and not many were brave enough to get out in it. We've been getting a good amount of rain recently and the already soaked ground combined with another all day drenching makes most areas almost impossible to access. Even if you can get off the main roads, your boots will weigh 10 pounds each after about 50 yards. Slick, sticky stuff and plenty of it.
I'd like to personally thank the sponsors and PM staff for their generosity and efforts to pull off another great event.
Anyway, didn't I say something about pictures....
Saturday Larry and I ran up to the high country in hopes of cutting some fresh lion tracks. No luck on the tracks but we had quite a ride. We forgot the spare tire in the trailer and just as we pulled up to the egg shoot, the valve stem on the left rear gave up.
WHEW!!! If it had happened a little earlier they'd probably still be looking for us. We were real fortunate. We had to use the winch 3 or 4 times to clear the road. This Ford and the guy who drives it are a pair of bada$$es!!
This is Point of Pines Lake.
Here is Larry on the range during the egg shoot.
And here he is at the banquet accepting his 2nd place trophy from Randy Black (RanUtah).
Larry, Dan Carey, and Ken (Dogboy) sitting around the trailer discussing current events among other things last night after the banquet.
And a couple of pics of the coyote we shot Thursday. She was a lot prettier than the desert dogs I usually shoot and Michael McCasland was kind enough to skin her for me (the guy is always prepared). I'm going to get this one tanned I think. Thanks MJM!!
Larry's not really mean, he just looks that way in pictures.
