This is our cook tent, the sleeping tent was back behind this. Both are nestled in the pines at about 10,000 feet above sea level in the White River National Forest in Colorado. We hunt from what is called a drop camp, this is where an outfitter packs us and our stuff (food, clothing and bedding) from his pack station to his camp. The tents, cooking tools and beds are all his. Then he leaves with the horses and all his helpers and lets us on our own. We cut our own wood, scout, cook and prep our game by ourselves he then comes back up and packs all of our stuff and game out. It is a wonderful experience to be out there alone with your friends (normally there are 6 to 8 of us at this camp, all family and longtime friends) There's the snow and the cold (two hours after I took this picture it hit 0 degrees, then around 10 to 15 below by morning) and the wildlife. You'll hear coyotes running through the woods and elk bugling. Water comes from a small spring and you should boil it to be safe. Once down to civilization again and the game is taken care of you can take a shower for the first time in a week and then we do some sightseeing before heading home. Soon I can take my kids to do this and they can see what I've been talking about for all these years.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy need it!!!) if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-help eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
