Hi Jerry and Ilene,
Thanks for the fall trip to Kafue Pk. What memories you’ve stored up for a life time. Coming home will be too tame. Perhaps we could have an election in Twisp just to make you feel at home. Looks like Ilene is staying another year or maybe just two half school years. Our trips to Wind Rivers, Wym. for an 8 day backpack trip, car trip to the mid-west and then back home via Spearfish Canyon, SD; The Flaming Gorge of CO.; a stop in Wallace, ID to retrace the Pulaski Trail of the Big Burn of 1910 sounds tame compared to a potential leopard spotting. Does a wild turkey spotting on the front porch count?
With Sunday’s 2 inches of rain on the valley floor hikes in the pass were affected by snow. We took to the hills yesterday to hike Maple Pass since it was snowed in much of the spring and summer. We weren’t disappointed with a crisp fall day and in some of the north facing trails an inch of new snow.
You are missing all of the foolishness of 2012 elections and all the costs associated with it. Just think what that election money could do for Africa or for that matter the poor here in the US. Make the most of each of your adventures, Jerry and Ilene, because too soon it will become a memory.
Love,
Judith and David

Doug/John…thanks for your reply. There are times when it doesn’t seem like anyone is really following this blog and I spend some time reflecting whether it is worth writing any more. Then this entry, over sixty people have visited the site and I get your nice notes. I find that I really do enjoy sharing the stories if anyone is still willing to have me bend their ear.

Snow on the pass!!! 95 degrees the other day. Wha dup wi dat?

Terrific hunting story, Jerry. I could feel that special tension of the stalk, and the heat of the bush. I plan to hunt Fuzzy Canyon (between Davis Lake and Pipestone) in three weeks with my dear friend John Williams (I don’t think you’ve met him; he and I have been pals for 48 years!). Beautiful weather here: yesterday, first day of autumn, saw 95 in Twisp.

Looking forward to sharing a whiskey and a quiet evening of brotherhood with you.
