2011 pics

[henpecked]

Left thursday 12-30-2010 for what was suppose to be a coyote trip.
14 degrees, winter storm warnings and cars in every ditch.
This picture was taken on I-25 by Johnston Corner


Figured with the weather it was not going to be a hunting trip...
Woke up -7 degrees winds blowing at least 30 making the wind chill -35
26 miles in by gravel roads white out conditions. Figured we had better stay in the ditch.







As you can see it was not a good day to be out...

Goggles and glasses frosted over... eyelashes froze together

10 miles up the creek...
saw a couple hundred sage grouse and a few antelope
Visibility was down to 50 feet a few times







The drive out was fun




Ralph didnt quite make it........


My tracks ahd filled in almost immediately

[henpecked]

Ralph was giving me the #1 sign

After some abuse I did pull him out



Wind chill Friday night reached -55
Wind blew all night
Headed out Saturday knowing full well that all the roads would be impassable






My turn at being stuck

[henpecked]

Youd think being back in town I would be safe




After a lot of abuse and after they had told one guy that offered to pull me out that I had not suffered enough a second came along and ignored there pleas I was out less than 1 block from the hotel

Ralphs air filter


Said it wasnt running right

Mean while Safe back at the bar




Cards were played and lies were told.........
No coyotes but we did see some elk, antelope and sage grouse

And since Ralph had abandoned his family to go play I bought him a shirt to be a constant reminder of his family

Gee and not an H1 in sight anywhere.

You can poke fun at the H1 all you want, but it gets the job done and at very high altitude.

one more thing the guns were all froze. Even if we had seen something there was no loading them.
I was thinking about that H1 and all the fun I could have in it.........
