Well, my dad posted about the boat he remembers while growing up in Minnesota, so I thought it would only be fair to mention the boat I remember when I was growing up in Eastern Oregon. I’m not sure what kind of boat it was, but I do know that I always trusted it like I would trust a gold toothed bank robber.

Thursday, we decided to head up a little further into the mountains and found that maybe that wasn’t the wisest choice.

I can’t remember ever being concerned about being in shape before. It just flat never was something for me to worry about. Other people worried about it - not me. I was a basketball playin’, baseball playin’, hikin’, sometimes hyper, always active teenager. When hunting season rolled around, I went hunting without thought of whether I was in shape for it or not. Now, with this one post, Cory brought my world tumbling down around me.

It was to be a trip for relaxation with some of her family that we’d not seen in a while, and we were certainly looking forward to it.

NorCal Cazadora refers to it as “collecting relics of our hunts”, I liked that. Things that remind us of a place, a beauty, a danger, any memory for good or bad can be, if not a physical trophy, a mental trophy.

Anyway it seems to be where we have the things that we have the greatest memories of. Course to some it is where they hang their objects they can brag about.
