While I do appreciate your cautionary warnings I am not too concerned personally, as spending a lot of time in old mines is not a habit of mine. This one has been explored by a lot more people than just me. With a flash light I could see the end of the mine from the entrance. Now some of the...
I haven't posted any new artwork on the Campfire in quite some time. A friend reminded me of this the other day. In fact there is likely a good percentage of regulars here that have no idea that I am an artist. I used to specialize in big game related art, but the last few years I've been doing...
This is awesome. I had a similar experience with a guy I took fishing in Montana. It had been a life long dream of his to fish in Montana. I took him, he had the time of his life. A few months later he passed away from cancer. His wife said right up until his last day he talked about what a...
I can relate with how you feel. If I were younger I would find a way to stay. At my age I'm afraid that ship has sailed, but at least I can still visit Alaska from time to time.
I had a very good summer and was super spoiled by being able to go to Alaska for a few days.
This yellow eye was a bucket list fish. These fish are very old and we were only allowed to have one. I was grateful to catch one as many people on the charter boats never had a chance at one.
I felt...
I know I have been posting a lot of videos lately, but the truth is I only video a tiny fraction of what I do. So hopefully y'all don't mind a few pics from this summer. Most of the fish were caught using jigs, but the cutthroats were caught using flies and a fly rod. Hope you enjoy a few pics...
My wife works as a nurse in an extended care facility. My fear is to die in a place like that as opposed to face down in the snow with a rifle over my shoulder.
I'm not going to argue that exploring the mine was totally safe. It wasn't, but a good percentage of what I do in life isn't overly safe. I teach school for a living on any given day a student can go mental and show up with a gun. I also spend the majority of my free time off-road, off grid, in...
The good news that I didn't include in the video is I followed the creek down the mountain a ways and found a secluded pond full of fish that I didn't know about. So fish were found, just not in the mine.
When you hear a rumor about fish or game in an unusual place, if you are like me, you have to go look. I can't help myself, I just have to see for myself. Sometimes it leads to a bounty and sometimes it leads nowhere, but it's always better to find out first hand. Come along on this latest...
