To be more specific... right next door to Hoodoo Brewery! Meet the author and the artist who did the cover art. BS with other trappers. Have a snack (if I remember to stop at Costco on the way over...) If you are out of town, PM me for info on how to get one through the mail! Pete

Remember, I make more money (so I can trap more...) on each copy, if you buy the book from me instead of Amazon. Pete
