Great pics Yukon. I'm familiar with all that plus cutting all the new blowdowns.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Great pics Yukon. I'm familiar with all that plus cutting all the new blowdowns. Yea, Im sure you've cut a few miles in your day. This past winter was really bad for blowdown. We had so much snow that trees were busting off regularly. I saw a small thicket of new growth spruce yesterday that looked like dead grass. The winter snow had laid it flat, busting many off. I have never seen so much snow on the trails this time of year either. In some places there was a couple feet yet.

It looks like a real adventure Yukon. Thanks for sharing the pictures. If it were easy there will be people there.

Great pictures and story to go with it Dave , we've got a little bit of snow on the mtns south of here but not enough to fill Fort Peck Lake to full pool or get the rivers bank to bank full .
What a great way to make memories for your son and grandson spending time with the grandparents !

Glad you put us all back on subject this morning. Brought back good memories, thanks!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Great pics Dave. People always comment to me how great it must be to guide fisherman, but taking care of 6-8 people in the deep bush is a challenge and work. I am fortunate to have planes handle my travel in and out, hats off to you for that hard working trek. I’ve got a group into Bear this summer I’ll wave out the port side when we fly in.
