Re: Vacation pictures-
Some great shots there, TK. Looks like your western adventures were much fun for both of you. Seeing all that reminds me of why some of us live out west. Sometimes we take the beauty for granted, and it's refreshing when we see photos taken by others not native to the area for us to fully appreciate what we have right here under our collective noses.
Good job!
Good job!

Re: Vacation pictures-
So True Rick, we do take for granted what we have and live in and with, daily. Others must spend a lot of money and travel to have what we have right out our back door.
Again TC, I really do Thank you for sharing some of what you enjoyed.

Re: Vacation pictures-
Yep, this is my wife. She had never been west of Salina, Kansas LOL By your standards KS is not a western state, but people from back east that visit here are pretty amazed. I should dig out my New Mexico pictures. I am a rock guy, and New Mexico is heaven for me.
I bought that hat on a whim and my wife fell in love with it. I have been looking at a better version. I like that style, and I wear a lot of boonie hats to fish in.

Re: Vacation pictures-
I also were some other hats depending on weather and all.
My main hat, shown in my picture is a Pendelton, bought in 1979 at the original factory in Oregon, on a Elk hunt up that way. It has traveled all over the western US, Canada, Alaska and some Islands. Seems to get noticed by many. a shot of a pivot a buddy and I shoot, one of him retrieving a chuck in rocks I don't climb anymore, and another chuck photo.

Re: Vacation pictures-
Then there are some critters that visit my yard each and every day, year round. Trail camera set in it captures a variety. Fun to watch and see them so peaceful.

Nice pictures, looks like you all had a great time. Rick is right, we take a lot of things for granted. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Vacation pictures-
We have a few gray fox here, but most are red. Me and my neighbors keep after them, they are hard on chickens etc... I am sure we have bob cats about, but never see them. I am sure they see me though. I dont think I would care to live among bears, they seem like racoons on steroids x 10
