Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Thanks.
AKHowler, love your season journals! They remind me of being right back out on my line, working my tail off, enjoying the scenery, and being thankful I get to do it!
TJ-where's your crazy brother?
otterman- the mitts are still holding up!
I have been working hard the last 10 years cutting and plotting line. I have a honest 52 hard miles with a few 7 mile loops off of that. Got a few safety cabins that have saved me more than once. I don't have a whole lot of one thing but have a little bit of everything and that's the way I like it. I run a 2012 Bearcat LT 570 and love it. Got almost 8,000 miles and just now had to re build the suspension but I run her very hard. I find my rope a long is my most valued tool and I go no where without it, hate falling thru ice in dry creek beds! Still waiting on the cats to come back like in the hey days of 15 years ago but they are coming, just a lot slower then I expected and want. It's taking ALOT of exploring to find my marten pockets, still havn't put my finger on why I don't have more. I have the terrain, elevation, and food source. A very successful marten trapper mentioned I might have a high bird of prey population and I do, year round eagles, hawks and lots of owls...
