…………………La Nina, that is……hmmm…..we haven’t either. She showed for a few days over the past 8 weeks, but overall she’s been absent for 2012. I heard BZN got some snow today, West Yellowstone called 1-3 inches….just a tease. Once in the Park, there seemed to be a bit more snow and everything looked clean. A fresh [...]

Stepping outside to snap this shot, with a quickness in my step, proved to be almsot too much this morning. 38 below…..and a blurred photo……too bad, it’s cold. I love winter, but this kind of cold is over the top. This is what makes all those second and third homes owners sell their place and [...]

My opinoin will come out shortly……..this process is going to create some drama, that’s for sure. FOAM will be involved. Your opinoin, what ever it may be, is needed. In the months to come, [...]

Ten days ago, I recieved a photo of this archery whitetail buck, shot by my father on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in Adams County. Illinois has four counties that are well known for huge bucks – Brown, Adams, Pike and Schuyler. There are several other counties boasting huge whitetails, but growing up in [...]
