ALLIES,EH?

Earthcaching in a Peat Bog in Michigan


Junior and I at the source of the Eel River


It is 9:05 a.m. and Patrick is under his afghan on the recliner. It is 25 degrees out, snowing lightly and blowing pretty good, with about three inches accumulation. Visibility about 150 yards.

Tramped around in the woods in Michigan yesterday, snow on the ground. Now this morning we have it! Met my brother, a Canadian, in Coldwater Michigan yesterday for some Mexican Beer--he was mad at a post of mine dissing Canada for not being with us in Iraq. He said there were Canadians in Afghanistan. So My apologies to Canada!! Sorry, Wulf.

P.S. There was a Buckeye in the Bar, replete with OSU T-shirt. He spotted my Gator Jacket. Chatted and comiserated with him awhile. He was HUMBLE. That is all.
