End of season shout out for my son Tate, we share boards, beers and more. I don't know how many times we went this season, but it was a bunch and every time was a blast. Will start to plan a couple of post season bc trips, Meadow Lake being one. Cheers!

You're a lucky man LBL. I wish my girls had got into skiing, but growing up by the beach made them hate the cold. Skiing/riding with your kids has to be the best.
My wife hates the winters with a passion. 'Rats ass', is her rating of winter on the scale of zero to 10. I'm sure that rating falls into the negatives somewhere. Everyone else in the family grew up with it. Growing up next to a ski hill didn't hurt. We all worked there for passes. Kept us sane during the long winter months. Better than sane, we thrived. And now we have found mountain biking. Can't wait for trails to open up.Quote:

Djongo and I visited the eagles this morning. Was a good day. Attachment 375795
Amazing!

Probably doesn’t listen either.
It does seem like they are lecturing it. That’s about when I would tune out tooQuote:

Needed a day off to regroup and unwind.
I've seen plenty of Baldies in passing but rarely get to hang and inspect so close. Really awesome and big as you'd imagine. Beautiful rich colors on them too. With the stunning Snake river in the background.
Thanks LBL, would do again. 10/10
Maybe sans the wakenbake tho. The approach trail is not for the weak.
I have been infatuated with these eagles for years. Never gets old.Quote:

Huge sharp talons pointed directly at nest while landing can be deadly on the rare occasion. Those in the nest will slide to the opposite side of landing zone, the adult shielding the chick.Quote:

It is a special place. I invite anyone who would like to join me on one of these little adventures to get ahold of me. PM me....I'm not doing anything.Quote:

Tate and I climbed down to the lower observation ledge yesterday. Spent a few hours kicked back, sipped a couple of cold ones, talked shit and had a grand old time. Jr is growing fast.

Firewood gathering has begun.Attachment 376596
I let my boys do most of the heavy work firewood gathering yesterday. I can tell that I am slowing down. Spent much of the morning herding grandchildren....and taking photos. Was a very good day.

Was told this morning to get ready to go fight fires, probably before the end of the month. Yow. Didn't go last year till August 25.
Called to the Lava fire near Weed, California. I will keep a daily log again. See you when I get back.
