Great stuff as usual. If you make it to Durango there is a great restaurant/microbrewery there that serves up a great Buffalo Reuben sandwich. And of course Million Dollar highway and tons of jeep trails to abandoned mines that I've traveled that are in good elk country. Love the trout.
G - if you keep posting all these pictures what is going to happen is we are going to have to have the first ever get together of forum members at your place! Any campgrounds nearby we can set up at

Thanks everyone. As deer season nears I have mixed emotions this will be the first season in 25 years that I won't be hunting whitetails on my own ground. I have been stuck at home getting machines set and electrics run which hasn't helped my mood. I did get the phase converter running and machines will probably be making parts by days end.
I won't complain about the fishing in my area and I haven't been to the fabled waters or gold ribbon fisheries that are close by yet.
Around here Johnny you can park your ride and camp.
Lots of muley doe interaction and looking at one another pretty much right out the door.
I went for a ride yesterday evening looking for the controlled burn that was going on in my back yard. I found this area where everything was completely mulched
and this area where the soil is challenged. I wondered who would ever live here?
of course.

Standing out in our back yard yesterday, my neighbor says do you see that hill top right there? You can find 170" muley bucks up there. So up the hill I went for a peek.
Once up top I found more ground than was apparent from below. We found sign.
I found the controlled burn.
Neighbor also says that I can find muley bucks and elk on the back side of Coyote Hill across the street from my house.
So they are piling the slash away from trees and bringing the fire through.
We found the burn unit and took a toke.

X2 Geo! Love the last set of pics you posted. Hopefully more controlled burns will reduce potential for massive forest fires. Pretty cool to have you doing a thread from the great state of CO!

Thanks guys.
Are you pulling my leg?
I took this picture on the way home, Cimmerona is the tallest peak.
I didn't give the hike much thought prior, I just knew that I wanted to see what it took to get up in to big muley country.
Afterwards, I was looking at around 3,500' elevation gain on google earth.
Above the trail head.
No girls invited on this hike.

Not pulling your leg, my attraction to the four corners area was trout, I graduated from NEMO/Truman in Kirksville, and from HS in Iowa where my in-laws live. The Ozarks region was a compromise, and had I known about never ending drought I wouldn't have moved here..
Shouldn't be long before you are in the desert since trees cannot live without water for too awful long but I suppose you are just like we are here - just dry...
Each species of tree requires a certain amount of annual rainfall, so dry kills diversity. Species like hazelnut and silky dogwood are no longer naturally occurring here. 10 Miles West of Springfield is Bois d' Arc Conservation Area, named after the predominant tree, the drought tolerant Osage Orange, but when I tracked in Kansas I was surprised to see agriculture and more "Green", when I expected Kansas to be drier than SWMO.
Love the scenery....the terrain makes me ache!
I have a premonition.....you've already made friends with a fox....pretty soon you will make friends with bears at the water edge....then start camping and living with them in commune....then you will feed them the tofu queen!

Been to the Bois d' Arc Conservation area many times in the past at an traditional archery shoot they have there every year...
Climate is just like where we live except the Osage Orange has taken over moreso...
